Insurance Agent Charged With Fraud

By Mandy Billings Nov 29, 2021 | 4:01 PM

(West Des Moines, IA) — A former West Des Moines insurance agent has been charged with a felony for allegedly filing a false insurance claim for coverage of fire damage. The Iowa Insurance Division says 48-year-old Tanya Schettler listed the wrong date of the fire on an insurance claim, knowing the fire occurred during a period when no insurance coverage was in effect. A state investigation of Schettler began in August of 2020 — and she was charged last Wednesday with one count of insurance fraud.
