Scott Air Force Base – The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Illinois announced Thursday that Denali Group, Inc., an Alaskan-based transportation company, has agreed to pay $3.5 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act by submitting fake customer satisfaction surveys while posing as military personnel.
Federal investigators say Denali employees impersonated members of the Department of War (DoW), also known as the Department of Defense (DoD) and the U.S. Coast Guard to fraudulently boost the company’s performance scores in the Defense Personal Property Program (DP3), a system that helps service members relocate their personal belongings when assigned to new bases. The DP3 program is administered by the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois.
“Denali’s fake surveys gave them an unfair advantage over other contractors and shortchanged our military families moving through Scott Air Force Base,” said U.S. Attorney Steven D. Weinhoeft. “Companies doing business with the federal government are expected to act with honesty and integrity, and we will use all our criminal and civil tools to protect taxpayer dollars from waste, fraud, and abuse.”
