Episode 1
A cautionary tale: a 16-year-old call centre worker in Glasgow embarks on a five-year crime wave.
A cautionary tale about one of the UK’s most notorious credit card fraudsters, whose five-year crime wave began at just 16 years of age. While his contemporaries were using fake IDs to get into nightclubs, he was defrauding innocent cardholders from his desk in a call centre, laying the groundwork for a journey that would open up a world of wealth, first-class travel and an escape from the life he seemed destined for. But, as he soon discovers, this lifestyle would be laced with darkness, danger and terrible consequences.
