Claimed and Shamed Season 6

Claimed and Shamed is back for its sixth 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 City of London Police's Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department pays a visit to an insurance broker suspected of using his expert knowledge to make a series of fraudulent insurance claims. The foundations of a house insurance claim are rumbled when metadata embedded in photos shows they were taken before the damage occurred, and CCTV puts the brakes on a driver attempting to secure a bumper payout. FirstGroup are baffled when they receive a brazen bus claim, and a suspicious story about some lost jewellery lacks the ring of truth.

The next stop is jail for the fraudster behind a massive bus fraud involving seven collisions and hundreds of personal injury claims. A mobile phone insurance company is determined to flush out the truth after receiving a suspicious claim for a mobile phone dropped down a drain. Time is called on a punter's claim against a pub, thanks to CCTV footage, when a landlord's false fire claim combusts at court as he tries to insure the building after it has burned down. Plus, the jaw-dropping footage of an attempt at house insurance fraud that went tragically wrong in the USA.

Prison is the final destination for a prolific travel insurance fraudster who racked up claims totalling over £100,000. CCTV well and truly puts the brakes on a claim for multiple injuries sustained in an incident on a bus. And the men behind an attempted fraud clearly don't know their left from their right, as they submit a claim that simply could never have happened as they describe.

Secret filming and a musical performance are instrumental in the Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department sending a postman to prison after making a grossly exaggerated personal injury claim, while the stage beckons for one chancer who is caught on CCTV pulling off the performance of a lifetime with a theatrical fall into a pothole. A fake death certificate is the final nail in the coffin for a shoddy attempt at a travel insurance scam, a pet insurance company refuses to roll over when there is a dubious claim for a pair of stolen puppies, and CCTV is the undoing of a rail passenger who slips up with a wet-floor story.

A moped rider's poor attempt to defraud a council for compensation lands him in front of a High Court judge, and ultimately behind bars. Dash-cam footage proves to be the perfect eyewitness as the Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department bust a textbook case of crash for cash. A wannabe film producer's insurance claim for stolen cameras has so many plot holes, it is anything but a whodunnit. And a claimant hoping to cash in on their travel insurance is left disappointed.

The Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department track down a ghost broker who has been pocketing his victim's money leaving them to drive uninsured. A paparazzi photographer's sensational story of how he was mugged at knifepoint is exposed as a work of fiction, a game show appearance on national television in the United States leads to one woman's 'come on downfall' and a travel insurance company smell a rat when they receive a claim for a nose job while abroad.

Officers from the Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department hit the jackpot when they raid the home of a man suspected of a series of meticulously planned frauds. Next stop is the land of nod as CCTV footage puts one bus passenger's personal injury claim to bed, a woman is caught red handed when a lost ring miraculously reappears on her finger, and a dog owner's request to alter veterinary records comes back to bite her.

The Metropolitan Police carry out a raid on a fraudulent claims management company, resulting in a jail term for the man behind it. Doubts flood in when a mobile phone insurance company receive a claim for a phone lost in a canal, supermarket CCTV delivers a knockout blow to one man's hopes of a payout when it proves how he really sustained the injuries he's claiming for, and phoney police reports are the final straw for a travel insurance company when they receive a claim from a backpacker who apparently carries thousands in cash and only wears designer labels.

Prison is the final destination for a woman who goes on the run after a claim for over £100,000 worth of camera equipment is exposed, and the dog owners whose incredible run of bad luck turns out to be nothing more than a series of lies to cash in on their pet insurance. Phone call recordings are the undoing of a seemingly honest motorist who tells insurers he's uninjured, only to do a u-turn and submit a claim for injuries he claimed not to have. And a fraudster quite literally gets his fingers burnt when CCTV shows what really happened to his van.

The criminals behind a £150,000 fraud are jailed after one of the gang confesses that the accident being claimed for never even happened. One woman gets herself in a flap when her house insurance claim for damage caused by a feathered intruder fails to get off the ground, while CCTV footage trips up a commuter who tries to cash in on an unfortunate accident. And a claimant's ever-changing story leads to IFED busting a bogus burglary claim worth £60,000.
