Two Spanish men were apparently so desperate for cash they decided to make a false £2.5 million insurance claim by cutting off their hands.
Unfortunately for the alleged fraudsters they were found to have done too good of a job of amputating their limbs.
The medics said one of the men, who were claiming to have been maimed in a car accident, had a cut that was too clean.
The hapless man, who has not been named, thought he’d be able to fool 11 insurance companies out of £2m by chopping his hand off with an electric saw.
‘The cut was too clean between the bone for a car crash, which is never so clean,’ said accident investigator José Luís Nieto.
‘This man might have got someone to use a saw to cut off his hand. A surgeon would never have done it.’
The second insurance claimant went a step further by cutting off his lower arm and claiming £500,000 for an ‘electric saw accident.’
His claim was also rejected after an investigation.
The two cases were not linked.
