Episode 4

Synopsis

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 team shift hundreds of pounds' worth of counterfeit cash, whilst people queue up to buy something that doesn't exist. Paul shows how to win a free round of drinks with a proposition bet, and how to beat the card sharks at their own game.

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.
