Dominic Littlewood reveals the story of how Alfred Mason's daughter discovered that her father had lost his entire life savings after falling victim to conmen.

We reveal the distressing story of how Alfred Mason's daughter Lorna discovered that her father had lost his entire life savings of 拢800,000 after falling victim to conmen selling fake investments - and how she found he had ended up living in squalor.

We follow police and trading standards officers as they raid a suspected fake numberplates factory. We follow the work of the London Borough of Hillingdon's benefit fraud investigators as they search for fake claimants and discover a fraudster using fake ID.

And we follow the story of the young woman who was conned by the fake faith healer. He pretended to be a supportive advisor but was tracked down by local trading standards officers who discovered he charged huge fees and lived a lavish lifestyle at the expense of his victims. And we meet Raymond Kaye and his wife Paula from Hull and hear the story of how Ray's desperation to win the holiday of a lifetime to Canada for Paula, led to his addiction to a fake prizes scam. It cost him their savings and almost their marriage.
