Phantom claims in relation to COVID-19 are those in which the client claims to have suffered loss or hardship as a direct result of the pandemic.

Fraudsters may also try to deceptively claim against a life insurance policy for a family member who they fictitiously claim to have died of the disease. Some of these fraudulent claims have been substantial, citing that the coronavirus pandemic has caused significant long-term consequences for the claimant.
