There's trouble in paradise after a family’s £20,000 food poisoning fraud is laid bare when they post proof online that exposes their lies. Investigators catch a cabbie out when they discover his dubious driving history involving 20 previous accidents. An injured inmate who wanted £8,000 after taking a tumble in his cell has his claim stopped in its tracks by prison staff. Two men who invent injuries to cash in on a car crash are exposed and ordered to pay thousands in costs, and a builder claiming £12,000 after tripping at work slips up when he claims the fall ruined his holiday. \n\nPresented by Naga Munchetty.
