Conflict in a claim for a watch reported damaged in stormy weather when it's already on an insurer's radar as having been stolen, while an absentminded fraudster claiming for a mobile phone gets rumbled when his lies tie him up in knots. Fancy footwork is the undoing of an opportunistic bus passenger with an eye for compensation and pet insurers attempt to claw back a claimant's ill-gotten gains when she refuses to roll over.
