A traveller stranded abroad during the pandemic is caught out when the fraud detectives discover the fancy five-star hotel he claimed to have stayed at was closed due to Covid-19. A motorist involved in a crash is prepared to put himself under the knife for a pay-out. A grieving wife claiming a life insurance payout following the death of her husband is exposed as a liar when police discover that he is still alive and working at a London hospital. A cabbie has a prang at traffic lights but tries to take his insurers for a ride by exaggerating his injuries. And a doctor is struck off after the medical reports he provided to back up claims for holiday sickness are discredited. Presented by Naga Munchetty.
