It deffinately makes you more aware and carefull not to have these things happen to you but on the other hand it gives shady people ideas to scam others.

This is a great show. I believe Paul Wilson did a similar show in the UK call The Real Hustle.

The show highlights ways in which money can be extracted, with a view to educating the viewer in how to avoid becoming a victim. Various terminology is explained, and the marks are fully informed of the cons/scams straight afterwards and repaid any money they'd lost. It was produced by Objective Productions, same people who do Derren Browns shows. It's been on for a few years now so maybe Objective have sold the format to TRU TV. Hope this helps Mescalito
The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.

The Real Hustle USA is identical to the UK version. Down to the scams themselves. It may even have Objective involved.

Hats off to all involved though. It looks like a great show. Interesting to see the different reactions between the Brits and the Yanks to the same scams.

I TiVo all the "Real Hustle" episodes.
And it's very well done and entertaining. Great TV.

The US Real Hustle was indeed based on the UK Real Hustle. The American production company bought the rights.

That's a great show-- thanks for the link! After watching the lotion scam, I chuckle everytime I go to the local farmer's market. One question, though-- are any of the marks stooges? Most of the scams are pretty straightforward, but I wonder what would happen if, say, they crashed one of the cars they stole or a mark got violent.

If something like that happened, it wouldn't get aired.

Nice to see that a show I created and produced (The Takedown) - get's ripped off in the UK (even uses one of the same "hustlers" in the lead) - comes back to the US - and on the same network. Got to love showbiz! And before anyone say's they are different - The Takedown was supposed to be more about street and short cons etc. and that's where it was going to go in the next episodes etc. - long before the UK Real Hustle was even a thought. Par for the course in Hollywood.
