A serial scammer is caught out when he attempts to make identical travel insurance claims by altering the figures on a police report, while a caravan owner concocts an elaborate story to claim for a theft that never even happened.\n\nA fraudster who cashed in by selling worthless insurance policies is brought to justice, and a couple's personal injury claim fails to get into first gear when bus CCTV reveals that they deliberately caused the collision themselves. In the USA, a fraudster's barbaric scheme to profit from a fraudulent insurance claim results in a life-changing injury for his victim.
