Factual entertainment series about scams and cons. A team of hustlers try out some notorious scams on members of the public, filmed with hidden cameras and intercut with actual interviews from fraud protection experts, police and scam victims. The team sell a forged lottery ticket, overcharge householders for worthless packages, do a pickpocketing scam, and set up a talent agency fraud where a fake agent scams 500 pounds a time from wannabe pop stars to produce a tacky demo tape.
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.
