One I saw was the 3 of them where driving a van around looking for wireless internet signals from houses. They picked the house with the highest security on the wireless internet, parked up & hacked into it with software that is freely available & watched what the person was doing for about an hour.
Saw that one and it had this typical TV scandalist tone - not only they made it sound like they cracked highest wi-fi security in seconds (which they didn't) but also pretended they could see exactly what the guy was doing on the screen and what he was printing thanks to that WEP hack, which of course is a lot of old cobblers. It was almost as grotesque as B movie hacking, when a character hacks to pentagon with nothing but old netscape browser and a lot of fast but random keystrokes.

I don't like the way these programmes give ideas to petty crims who may not have tried these scams before. The more they broadcast this stuff the more common the practices will become...

There was a scam in a previous series where they set themselves up in a house, hired a new Mondeo, then advertised the car for sale in the classifieds at a knock down price. Prospective buyers arrived, the attractive blonde swindler Jess answered the door, told them she didn't know much about the car etc. The buyers then left a deposit, with the blonde telling them to come back later that day with the balance at a set time, so her 'hubby' can finalise the deal.
Repeat this procedure a few times, so a few deposits taken within the space of a few hours.
The swindlers then disappeared and you've guessed it, half a dozen unhappy punters arrived at pretty much the same time to find no car and a deserted house. It didn't take long for them to twig....
As an aside, Jess alone makes the program worth watching :-)
