Advantages: Informs people of all the real life scams people are using and what to watch out for

Disadvantages: None that I can think of

I really like this programme and feel that it should be on at prime time tv so that more people can be aware of the real life scams that are going on.

This programme is all about the real cons and scams that people are using on their victims every day in the real world. It is to educate you on what to look out for and actually carries out these scams on real people. The people do get their money back etc but it shows them how easy it is for people to scam and steal from them.

There are lots of different scams. On one of the shows a man takes a mobile phone out of the pocket of a mans coat that is hanging on his chair and sends a text to a number that will keep on texting back and getting money from that fone. The problem is that by the time you have noticed there is nothing you can do about it. You cannot stop the texts and have to change your number for it to stop costing you. Obviously the man that did it has set this up and will reap all the money.

There are many many more.

I find this programme really useful and interesting. More people should be made aware of the cruel scams that are being used against innocent people every day.

The real Hustle is on on Thursdays at 22.30pm on BBC3. It is also repeated at various times most evenings on BBC3.

Summary: Real hustle - interesting to watch and might just stop you being a victim of cruel scams
