Fraudsters put innocent drivers' lives at risk by engineering crashes on public roads, while a chancer’s pretend tumble over a pothole is uncovered for what it really is. Police expose an extraordinary fraudster who uses insider knowledge to rip off insurers, investigators uncover the devious mileage-clocking methods used by an organized crime ring, and in America a preacher commits the ultimate sin to cash in on his wife’s life insurance policy.
