Obviously, fraud is not confined to any particular profession. When I was on the defense side, I routinely dispatched an investigator with a videocamera to test the claims of plaintiffs who had raised my suspicions, and sometimes came away with great results (i.e., the eldery woman who claimed she could no longer walk, walking with barely a problem).

The most common thing that they all have is that they have a great disability lawyer. My favorite is the gentleman on full disability who walks 18 holes and has a 2 handicap.
