The Real Hustle - Series 4 - Episode 5

A team of hustlers - Alexis Conran, Paul Wilson and Jessica Clement - try out some notorious scams on members of the public, filmed with hidden cameras. The gang reveal how a hustler can turn a second hand car into the gift that keeps on giving; there's the cash machine which gives you your card back after a scam artist has pinched all your details; and Paul and Jess go undercover as recruitment consultants but the only thing they're making a career out of is identity theft. The participants featured in The Real Hustle have either been set up by their family and friends or believe that they are participating in another television programme. After they have been hustled for real any monies or property taken during the hustle are returned to them and their consent for the item to be broadcast is obtained so that viewers can avoid being ripped off by the same scam.
