Insurance cheats come under the spotlight of the investigators. Today, a man claims for injuries following a car accident, but suspicions are raised when his social media reveals that he’s been having fun paragliding on holiday. \n\nA woman tries to claim twice for the same necklace. An opportunist stops at the scene of a crash to take pictures so he can claim for injuries he never sustained. A man who claims injuries sustained in a boatyard accident have left him unable to work finds his claim is on the ropes when he’s spotted on social media taking part in a boxing match. \n\nAnd the unusual and unlikely theft of two model steam engines leads the fraud inspectors to blow the whistle on the claim. \n\nPresented by Naga Munchetty.
