Matt Willis joins the regular gang of Alex, Jess and Paul to rob a jewellery store with a security disguise and and a couple of cameras which allows for them to get the alarm code and the keys for the front door. Jess infects a business man's laptop with a virus which locks out his computer and then Paul rings on a phone left nearby asking for money for the code to save all his files.

Brendan Cole joins Alex, Jess and Paul in this episode and he has to show that Alex has been cheating in a card game to convince the marks to join in with a bet on a boxing match later in the day which Paul says he can rig in the marks favour. While Jess and Alex steal a car from a car dealership by previously researching the key to the car and then finding a similar key and tag and then swap the keys when Jess goes later.

Zöe Salmon joins the group this week as she and Alex decide to change the Vehicle Identification Number of a car that is going to be sold and they decide to take the money someone else paid for it and the car later. While Jess becomes a mystic and gives her customers a free reading but when turn out quite accurate they decide to give her money for the reading.

While Alex and Paul fine a man £200 for failing to respond to Jury Duty summons

Anthony Costa joins the team this week and sells cheap vodka at wholesale prices only for the marks to be stop by Alex and Paul who tell them that store maybe selling counterfeit goods and to use them to pay for another order from Anthony and try and trap him . Also the team disconnect a woman's satellite signal and then ask for the credit card details in order for them to reconnect her straight away.

Kelli Young joins the group this week and becomes a cleaner along with Jess to clean up a marks house who believes it will be featured in a magazine while Alex and Paul convince the mark to replace a picture on the wall with one that is meant to be worth £10,000 only for Kelli to then ruin the painting with a solvent and then get the mark to pay up some money for it. Also Jess and Paul become Tax-people and tell the marks they are due a big refund and get the marks to give them their bank account details and official identification.

Ben Hull joins the team this week and is tasked with getting a business card from a car dealership and then passes to Paul in front of the marks so he can pretend to be him and tell the marks about cars that are about to be scrapped and therefore cannot be sold in the country so they give the marks four thousand pounds to buy scrapped car but Ben has switched the bags so they only get money. Jess and Paul are giving away free diamond cut shredders to shred their credit card bills and other such items unfortunately for the mark there's a scanner inside the shredder and therefore all the information goes straight to the hustlers.

Singer Jonathan Ansell helps persuade some marks that to take part in a fake audition, where they need to pay for a work visa (The Audition); Paul uses eleven matches to make just nine (Proposition Bets); and the hustlers set up a fake fraud hotline and use it to gather credit card details, plus show how the right equipment can be used to eavesdrop on digital cordless telephones (The Telecoms Con).

Actress Abi Titmuss poses as a lawyer to help persuade some marks that they have inherited a large amount of money (The Inheritance); Paul demonstrates a proposition bet involving a matchbox (Proposition Bets); and Alex and Paul pose as engineers to install a fake security system in a student house, but are really casing the joint and copying the keys so that they can later burgle it (The Scareware Scam).
