A large-scale bogus injury scam is foiled as a group of football supporters fail to clock the CCTV cameras on board the bus, while social media is the undoing of a bride-to-be's claim for a lost engagement ring. A motorist is caught in the act when he tries to repeat a previous claim by deliberately causing an accident, and in America a psychiatrist involved in diagnosing patients with false mental illnesses is exposed in one of the largest fake prescription scams in history.
