The £500,000 Yacht Trap: The Famous 419 Scam Exposed! | The Real Hustle

THEY FAKE A MILLIONAIRE LIFE! The Real Hustle team executes the "419 Scam" (Advance Fee Fraud) in high style. Alex poses as an international businessman on a luxury yacht in London, offering a couple a life-changing £100,000 fee to help him bypass foreign tax laws. To seal the deal, the marks are sent to a "prestigious" law office to meet Paul. In the ultimate moment of deception, Alex performs a video call from the room next door, which has been rigged to look like a swanky Paris office. Convinced by the high-flying atmosphere, the marks hand over £5,000 in "legal fees" for a worthless half-million-pound check. The Real Hustle uses hidden cameras to uncover the most popular scams so that you know what to watch out for. The Real Hustlers show you what to do when a deal goes wrong, how to spot a dodgy poker player, avoid pickpockets on the tube, and how not to fall victim to the most common bar tricks!
