Episode 9

Factual entertainment series in which a team of hustlers try out notorious scams on members of the public. Includes hidden-camera footage and comment from fraud-protection experts, police and victims. Scams include a car clamping trick, selling non-organic produce as organic with a marked-up price and an origami con that leaves you with a worthless 10 pound note.

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.
