A globetrotter gets an earful when he is caught trying to claim twice for a pair of high-end headphones lost on holiday. Dashcam footage reveals the dirty work of a crash-for-cash gang as they attempt to cash in on an innocent victim, while a bin lorry is the unusual target of a scam with rubbish consequences. A pet portrait calls time on a lost watch claim as its metadata highlights all is not what it seems, and a football-loving claimant signed off work with injuries risks a stiff penalty.

An expensive car scam backfires badly when investigators spot the tell-tale signs. Timelines conflict in a claim for a watch reported damaged in stormy weather when it's already on an insurer's radar as having been stolen, while an absent-minded fraudster claiming for a mobile phone gets rumbled when his lies tie him up in knots. Fancy footwork is the undoing of an opportunistic bus passenger with an eye for compensation, and pet insurers attempt to claw back a claimant's ill-gotten gains.
