Episode 6

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 gang reveal how prize-draw winners can be left empty handed and out of pocket; Alex nearly hits the skids when he takes a biker for a ride; Paul and Jess set up a stand in a shopping centre selling utter junk; and the boys show how dishonest gamblers can scam the casino by turning the odds in their favour at the blackjack tables.

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.
