A chip shop worker is well and truly battered after his attempt to cash in with a self-induced personal injury is caught on CCTV and an impatient motorist claiming against a bus company ends up regretting his road rage. A minor prang proves very costly when a claimant tries his hand at faking invoices, a jewellery lover loses her sparkle, when information contained in the digital photos to support her claim shines a spotlight on her scam and a window cleaner claiming for injuries sustained in his van drops himself in it when he speaks to his insurers.
