Insurance cheats come under the spotlight of the investigators. Today, a pet owner who can’t get his story straight about his dogs’ disappearance, and a serial scammer whose scheming earned him a huge 50 grand payout has the brakes slammed on his claims when he is sentenced to 22 months behind bars. A trio who submit separate injury claims by faking trips over drain covers see their scam flushed out by investigators. Dodgy whiplash claims made by a group of friends following a car crash are delivered a huge blow when online footage of them boxing shows they’re fighting fit, and a globetrotter who fakes a document to claim for a camera damaged on holiday sees his hopes of a payout disappear in a flash. \n\nPresented by Naga Munchetty.
