Can a current Verison customer get into trouble for claiming false information regarding lost or stolen phones and their account, just to have them suspended?

I know of a family member that has filed (called) a false claim of 5 phones on their account being lost or stolen just to have them suspended, is there anything that can be reported or someone that can be notified to report this issue and/or can they get into trouble for filing or claiming false information?

Why claim lost or stolen?  Why not just suspend the lines?  In any case, the lines can be suspended, with or without payment, even without reporting them lost or stolen.  The only point to reporting them that way is to prevent them from being used on another account.
If they were to try and replace them via insurance, there would be a deductible to pay.  They may need to show proof if reported as stolen (police report).
I guess I'm puzzled as to the motive behind reporting them to be lost or stolen rather than a simple suspension.
