Episode 1 (2016)
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.
Episode 2 (2016)
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.
Episode 3 (2016)
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.
Episode 4 (2016)
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.
Episode 5 (2016)
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.
