Insurers combine forces to catch a serial fraudster making fake insurance claims off the back of high-profile tragedies, while an adrenaline junkie showing off on social media forgets that her antics can be seen by everyone, including those investigating her personal injury claim. Digital data embedded in photographs submitted to support a claim for £35,000 of stolen jewellery reveal that it’s a complete lie, and a cat owner grossly inflates a claim when she loses two of her moggies.
