Once upon a time, not too long ago, you could easily find yourself in lots of trouble if some dastardly individual wanted to pull an insurance scam, let’s say, by pretending to be hit by your car since it could be difficult to impossible to prove your innocence.

Nowadays, with the right equipment, which by the way, won’t cost you an arm and a leg, frauds of this sort can be easily identified and resolved.

Take for example this Asian youngster who came running towards a vehicle and jumped on the hood acting as if he (or she) was hurt. What the scam artist didn’t know is that the driver had fitted a camera on the dashboard that recorded the entire incident.

We’re not sure where the fake accident took place, though the description of the video is in traditional Chinese (if you happen to know, leave a comment below). The video poster also notes that the incident occurred on August 23, 2012, and not in 2010, as seen in the footage.
