The Real Hustle - The Real Hustle

A team of hustlers try out notorious scams on members of the public. Scams include how to steal valuables from jackets in a busy bar and how to get a few free rounds in the pub. 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.
