I think it was called the "The Real Hustle" on TV a few years 2 men 1 woman. Totally opened my eyes to how blatent, easy or creative scams had got had got.

Mobile phone cons the list just went on.
More and more sophisticated these days

Just had a run of cold calls from "Sky"
They identify themselves as working for sky to reduce my plan.
Soon as I mention my phone says its Sky calling the phone gets cut off . . . by them.
