A driver's personal injury claim is rumbled when CCTV footage reveals that he was never even in the car, while a woman's attempt to cash in at the expense of her travel insurer is exposed, thanks to her childish counterfeit skills. \n\nIt is bad news for a burglary claim when a photo of one of the stolen items includes a newspaper from after the date of the burglary, and a party-loving claimant is caught out when his friends and family reveal that his accident was nobody's fault but his own. \n\nA claim for fire damage goes up in smoke when insurers prove the claimant didn't even own the house at the time, and an opportunistic bus passenger fails to spot the cameras recording his every move when he changes the sequence of events to suit his personal injury claim.
