State insurance regulators have kicked Oklahoma City agent Brent Carter out of the business for good, revoking his producer license Friday and blocking him from ever holding one again. The crackdown follows an anti-fraud probe that found he sold policies without a valid license and handed customers fraudulent paperwork through his firm, United Risk Managers of Oklahoma, LLC, after a consumer complaint sparked the investigation.
According to KOKH, the Oklahoma Insurance Department's Anti-Fraud Unit concluded Carter misrepresented himself as a licensed producer, took in premiums without forwarding them to the insurer, and issued false documents that led at least one person to believe they had coverage when investigators say they did not. Regulators also hit Carter with a $1,000 fine, on top of revoking his license and his ability to reapply. KOKH reports he is the owner of United Risk Managers of Oklahoma, LLC.
State Regulator Cites Anti-fraud Authority
Per the Oklahoma Insurance Department, the Anti-Fraud Unit investigates consumer complaints and may seek administrative penalties including fines and license revocations through formal orders. The department's Final Orders pages and legal notices explain how those sanctions are issued and how respondents can request hearings and appeals. That administrative framework is how the department enforces producer licensing and market conduct across Oklahoma.
Consumers May Have Been Left Uninsured
KOKH says the fraudulent documents caused at least one customer to believe they had coverage when, investigators say, they did not. Anyone who purchased insurance through Carter or United Risk Managers should go straight to the named carrier and confirm that a policy was actually issued and premiums were received. If the paperwork or carrier confirmation is murky, customers should hang on to receipts, emails, and any other records in case they need to file a claim or respond to further regulatory follow-up.
