Pet insurance scams
A new type of fraud is affecting the insurance industry - pet scams. Insurers believe frauds include owners getting rid of the animal - by selling it or even killing it - then claiming a payout for early death or theft. Other owners have injured their pets in "faked accidents" to cover up pre-existing injuries or conditions not covered by their policy, or the pet may never have existed. Other tactics detected include claims for vet treatments that have not actually been given or are unnecessarily expensive. Experts suspect some vets are involved. (Source: The telegraph.co.uk)
Poster slip rocks the boat
Organisers preparing London for next year's Olympic Games have apologised for airbrushing the historic World War II ship HMS Belfast from an official poster depicting the capital's skyline. They said it was "a simple mistake in the advertising production process" and have recalled the posters. But critics say it was a conscious decision because of the ship's military connection. The Belfast has been moored near Tower Bridge since 1971. Martyn Heighton, from National Historic Ships, said it was like "airbrushing out the Houses of Parliament". (Source: BBC.co.uk)
