An organised crime gang staging car accidents in crash-for-cash scams worth £400,000 is blown apart. A surveillance operation trips up a man claiming a big money payout following a trip on an uneven pavement. A student who thinks a false receipt can get him a cash payment on his laptop is caught out. A victim of minor whiplash exaggerates his injuries but is caught out by eagle-eyed lawyers, and a sacked employee who suffers a dramatic fall on his last day at work is caught out on CCTV.
