Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are suing their former insurance broker, claiming he gauged, defrauded and embezzled them out of a fortune.
Hanks, Wilson and others claim they worked with J.B. Goldman Insurance Agency for more than 20 years, using the company to procure homeowners, directors and other business policies.
According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Hanks and Wilson switched brokers last month and the new broker allegedly discovered gross overcharging for various policies.
The suit claims the broker overcharged them, insured them multiple times for the same things, and engaged in a "predatory embezzlement scheme" that cost all the plaintiffs hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars.
The suit seeks unspecified damages.

Insurance companies are horrible!! I hope they get what they deserve....
I understand. Time Warner Cable overcharged and scammed me, and I'm suing!
Tom Hanks doesn't work enough. We could do with a bit more, please.
my insurance agent charges me for moon earthquakes and I am fine with it.
TMZ -- you might want to consider changing the headline in this story. You are implying, with "like a bad neighbor," that somehow the State Farm Insurance Company is involved in this matter.
I realize you're trying to be cute with a play on words, but some SF agents who may be reading this blog might not find it so amusing.
Just sayin'.
They say TV is an exicting venture. There's a fresh crop of little ones that could use some help coming up in the world. I'd even say we all could use some help coming up in this big mean old world.

STFU, I am amused and State Farm is not immune to ripping people off, examples EVERY Hurricane, tornado ever to hit the US.
Too bad there's no insurance for a wrinkled, bloated face.
Maybe it was a mistake, but TMZ really meant to say that Tom was "gouged", not "gauged" by the insurance company.
