One fraudster is left bankrupt and behind bars when his attempt at a crash for cash scam backfires badly, while questions are raised after a high-end watch reported stolen is found, but not where it should be. A man signed off with debilitating injuries is caught finishing the London marathon, a supermarket scammer comes a cropper when video evidence shows what really happened, and an opportunist underestimates the power of technology as the information embedded in his digital photos scuppers his exaggerated burglary claim.
