Claimed and Shamed (2012)

Season 7: Episode 5

Claimed and Shamed is back for its seventh series, exposing even more insurance fraudsters lying on the phone or caught out on camera. The series highlights the extraordinary and often ridiculous lengths some people go to in order to try and receive a bumper payout. The Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department bring down a flashy fraudster who cheated his way to over £100,000, splurging it on fast cars and expensive holidays. CCTV is the undoing of an impatient cyclist who attempts to blame a bus company for his risky riding, while a woman lands herself in hot water when her claim for a leak goes down the pan. A pet owner tries to encourage a veterinary practice to lie on their claim form, and the dark story of an American surgeon who performed unnecessary procedures on patients to line his own pockets.
