Rogue Claimers: Episode 9 (5STAR, Thursday, February 27, 2025)

Channel 5 Numeric

Prepare for another dose of jaw-dropping audacity as “Rogue Claimers” returns with a fresh batch of insurance fraudsters trying to game the system. Thursday’s episode looks into the world of workplace injuries – or rather, alleged workplace injuries – with one employee’s compensation claim crashing and burning under closer inspection. Turns out, faking a fall isn’t as easy as it looks, especially when cameras are watching.

The internet age continues to be a double-edged sword for these would-be con artists. One martial arts fighter learns this the hard way when their fabricated personal injury claim gets thoroughly debunked thanks to the power of social media. Lesson learned (hopefully): if you’re going to feign an injury, maybe don’t post videos of yourself performing high kicks online.

Clearly when it comes to insurance fraud, some people will stop at nothing to get their hands on a payout. Whether it’s staged accidents, exaggerated injuries, or outright lies, these scammers seem to believe they’re smarter than the system. Spoiler alert: they’re usually not.
