VALDOSTA, GA -- An investigation conducted by the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation's Enforcement Division has led to the arrest of Valdosta business owner Pieter A. Demare, Jr.

According to Enforcement Division Director Stan Bexley, Martinez, age 46 was arrested Wednesday, February 25, 2015, and transported to the Lowndes County jail where he is charged with multiple counts of Insurance Fraud and First Degree Forgery.

Pieter Demare, the owner of Demare Wallcoverings, LLC, and DBA Apartment Turn Key Services is a painting contractor that provides residential and commercial painting in and around the Valdosta and North Florida area.

The Enforcement Division's investigation alleges that Demare altered several workers' compensation insurance certificates and then presented the bogus certificates to general contractors in an attempt to avoid paying premium for a valid policy.

Initial estimates indicate Demare has defrauded several insurance companies out of approximately $50,000.00 in workers' compensation premiums by passing the bogus certificates to several Valdosta area apartment complexes.

If anyone has received a certificate of workers' compensation insurance coverage from Pieter Demare, d/b/a Demare Wallcoverings, LLC, or Apartment Turn Key Services and are unable to verify the coverage by using the Board's website http://www.sbwc.georgia.gov , you are asked to contact the State Board of Workers' Compensation's Enforcement Division at (404) 657-7285 or (800) 533-0682.

All other lines of insurance coverage such as auto, home or general liability should be verified directly with the insurance carrier.
