Anonymous tip offs reveal an outrageous plan to cash in after a flood ruins a house, while a local council smells a rat when it receives a personal injury claim that just doesn’t add up. When a missing watch turns up, it's not the good news you’d expect for the claimant. An adventure seeker’s claim could end up sinking after her camera goes up the creek, and opportunists encouraging people to put in exaggerated claims are caught in the act.
