I shared a house with 5 other guys while at uni about 15 years ago. One day, a big white van pulls up outside and we see our pal getting out of the passenger's side. Wondering what was going on, a few of us went to the door and he's telling us to make space in the hallway. He's only gone and bought two massive wooden speakers from a fella in a white transit van. Once the fella has gone, our mate is going on about how great the speakers are and how much he was able to barter the fella down in price. He'd handed over £150 for what he claimed were about £600 worth of speakers. Anyway, 10 minutes later he's plugged them into his PC (desktop PC them days, not laptops like we have now) and is firing up his Winamp with some dance music. What came out was the most tinny, cheapest horrible sound you've ever heard. The volume didn't even turn up that either. 😂 Turns out what he'd actually bought was two very expensive wooden boxes with a pathetic £5 speaker built into them. We were pissing ourselves at him, and he was trying to justify his purchase. Before anybody says, "our mate" does not = me.
The intruder alarm scam is 100% unrealistic. If your alarm goes off, the maintenance company NEVER call or attend site unless the property owner contacts the out of hours and books a callout and once the engineer comes out, their routine is different to what Alex and Paul do, they will get the alarm into engineering mode and review the logs to see events that took place to determine the fault. Secondly the property owner will only be contacted if they have either keyholder or policed monitoring, if there is no monitoring they will not know about their activated alarm. Lastly an engineer on site will NEVER ask the property owner to see their front door keys at all as there is simply no need for this.
If you lost near that much brake fluid, you'd only be able to hit your brakes once and them working, next time BAM. You wouldn't drive it as you'd feel it go down and its a guaranteed wreck.
the problem this show had was that they needed to pretend these scams were real to make it interesting to watch but they could only use paid actors to pull them out legally so once they got busted the show was over
My mate was approached by a guy in a carpark, who offered to sell him a laptop cheap. My mate agreed and handed over £200. When he got home he found that in the bag were two large bottles of water. How do you mistake two bottles of water for a laptop.....
mundo glory No need to be ashamed. You do not have to say it was your "mate" You can admit that it was yourself that it happened to. It happens to the best of us, NOT. LOOOOOOL.
#1. Jess is looking hotter than ever #2. Why would an old beater be leaking clean brake fluid? #3. Who wouldn't pop the hood and check the brake fluid level? These scam artists are banking on finding the dumbest marks on earth
for the celebrity challenge i thought for sure they were going to wrap all the bricks up in that blanket and pick them up
same
He hit the other car when he open his door!! hahahah 2:32
That was the car insurance scam, that car is owned by Paul who now claims on his insurance for a shiny new door on his car.
"A 17 thousand pound convertible" 16:34 ahahahaha! its an old Renault worth about a £1000 at most!

Every driver should know, If your brake pedal doesn't hit the floor when you press it, Then that amount of fluid is not from your vehicle.
"I'm calling from *Beep* security" - Best moment
"never take unsolicited advice from strangers' offered the stranger on my laptop screen 🤦♂

Chill bro, the show is almost 20yo.
I love this programme
the doubling money part reminded me of runescape
7:00 holy cow that's Jess at her finest. I'd last no more than about six seconds!
@@obviouslytwo4u She looked better before the boob job, there is a video on line naked in a swimming pool.

Not remotely true. Trump fan?

Jannet Anderson you’re an idiot...
Why does the bleep happen when Jess says I am from _____ security? S
Because she says the name of their real security company (visible on the box outside usually)
finger prints fingerprints finger prints
You can notice how Jess has had a breast implant job throughout the series which was very very disappointing to know she had confidence issues lol
I don't know why beautiful women do it.

the shows fixed, thats why it was canceled, they should of featured jess more and ran more realistic scams.
bird718 stop talking garbage, Internet fool
Raxta Emu
if you believe the shows real then you're stupider than your peacock videos.
@@bird718 can tell its real by people's reactions. I can easily tell between genuine and scripted reactions, and this is and always has been real.
Wow a crummy old Escort Estate - Winning lol
hmm try to brake maybe idk
This probably does more bad then it does good
I doubt it.
Well what if the couple had decided to check the exchange rate on their own phones?
