Shows from 2012

Overview

Scam City is a show which started airing on Travel + Escape in June 2012 which crosses the globe visiting ten of the world’s most popular cities in an effort to expose the darker side of tourism. The host, Conor Woodman, meets with questionable characters ranging from unethical cab drivers to aggressive pimps as he witnesses and experiences the travel experience of parting with personal property and money. He intentionally falls victim to these alleged scammers and says "yes" to every hooker and pocket jeweler in the city, giving up substantial quantities of cash in the process. The show aims to expose the local adaptations of common scams - from pick pockets, expensive cab fares, to bars luring people in with adult entertainment at a high cost. Scam City has also been aired on the National Geographic Channel. In Australia, Scam City is shown on subscription TV channel Nat Geo Adventure, which airs on channel 628 on the Foxtel network.

Overview

News about attacks on cash collectors in our time, alas, has become something everyday, but this event literally shocked the public: one employee of a well-known collection service was killed, another was seriously injured. The bloody crime was committed so clearly and smoothly that the investigators cannot help but suspect that the raiders have an informant among the collectors. What they don't suspect is that much more money was stolen than is listed on the documents: there was "black cash" in the car, which the authorities should not know about.
