Insurance cheats come under the spotlight of the investigators. Today, a cheating cabbie involves his loved ones in a bogus injury claim following a car accident. A gardener claims on his personal accident insurance following accidents at customers’ properties but is found out when his supposed clients say they’ve never heard of him. Why are four students the only ones making personal injury claims when a double decker bus has a minor bump? The truth is revealed on the CCTV. An estate agent receiving income protection payments because he’s not well enough to work is caught doing three extra jobs on the side. And a cyclist claiming he damaged his knee in a collision with a car is exposed as a liar in lycra when online posts about his sporting achievements put the brakes on his personal injury claim.\n\nPresented by Naga Munchetty.
