A man who lost his brother to Covid is jailed after trying to cash in life insurance he had taken out in his dead sibling's name. A driver making a bogus claim is caught out on number plate recognition cameras, driving his vehicle when it should have been off the road.

The case of a serial scammer that proves crime doesn't pay. After trying to swindle £75,000 with fake claims for ruined holidays, this chancer finds himself on a different kind of break – roughing it behind bars. And the curious case of the claim made for a payout in the name of a man who wasn't even there.

A chef who made an outrageously high claim by exaggerating his injuries after a genuine workplace accident finds himself in hot water. A dangerous driver who stopped his car in the middle of a roundabout for no apparent reason has the brakes slammed on his bogus claim after he's caught out on CCTV. A hotel owner who blagged tens of thousands of pounds in income protection, claiming he was too ill to work, ends up on the wrong side of the law when undercover investigators catch him on camera looking fighting fit. A budding barrister who used his legal know-how to make a bogus injury claim comes unstuck when investigators finally uncover the truth. And a semi-professional footballer scores an own goal when his dodgy claim for injuries after a car crash is undone by his social media posts.
