The Real Hustle

[Chris_2k11]

Is anyone watching this on BBC3??

[Abi]

Yep, i watched this. Its a good show- but surely it just helps other people work out how to con people out of their money?!

Just goes to show how easily people can get conned- like that grabbing through the letterbox they did on tonights show. I bet loads of us leave keys and money by the door, so anyone could get caught out by that, something which is so simple.

I think its scarily easy how people are conned out of giving out information.

The girl who has her bag nicked and then gives out her pin number to the "automated" service. How many times have people been told not to give this kind of information out.

The "disabled" woman at the cash point who drops everything, so you help her, whilst your card is taken and replaced with a duff one. They've noted your pin number, your account is cleared.

Very frightening - but eye opening at the same time.
