Ah, insurance fraud. The collision of brazen desperation and pathetic ingenuity. 5STAR’s “Rogue Claimers” returns, offering a glimpse into the shady world of faked injuries and elaborate scams, all for a quick payout. In this episode, the cameras catch a bus driver seemingly suffering a debilitating injury, miraculously recovering once he thinks he’s in the clear.
Viewers are treated to another case of a truly clumsy, or perhaps remarkably cunning, canteen worker executing a staged trip and slip. If only their acting skills were as polished as their floor-slicking technique. Finally, the episode culminates with the takedown of a large-scale fraud ring, a satisfying moment of justice served. Or, at least, moderately inconvenienced. Tune in to see if the legal system can outmaneuver these slippery characters.
This show isn’t exactly high-brow entertainment, but it offers a certain voyeuristic thrill. Truth can definitely be stranger than fiction, particularly when insurance money is involved. “Rogue Claimers” manages to make the mundane world of insurance claims oddly compelling.
“Rogue Claimers” airs Wednesday, February 19, 2025, at 17:00 on 5STAR.
