State insurance regulators take action against Gulf Shores agency over bogus policies - al.com

State insurance regulators take action against Gulf Shores agency over bogus policies - al.com: "The Alabama Department of Insurance has begun disciplinary action against Pamela Wynona Schoen, saying that the owner of Starfish Insurance Agency in Gulf Shores failed to keep her employees from selling bogus policies.

Schoen and Gulf Shores police have said they believe Benton Gray Harvey and Jonathan Adams, former Starfish employees, left the area in September with proceeds from the scam.

The insurance department's complaint, dated Dec. 11 and served in recent days via certified mail, is not a criminal charge but an administrative action under state insurance regulations."
