“There are many ways to steal a car, but for a hustler, the easy way is to ask for the keys.”
That’s what Paul and Alex did in this video. They dressed up as valets and got Jess to distraction a real one. Then, they simply took the keys from some car owners and drove off themselves.

Alex and Jess flag down two girls in the middle of a desert to tell them that their tyres are wobbly. While Alex helps the girls with their tyres, Paul arrives as a bystander checking to see what’s going on. What the girls don’t know is that all Alex and Jess are also bad guys.
The lesson of this scam is always keep your eyes on your stuff.

The appearance of having wealth is everything in this con. Alex dresses up as a wealthy Arab in order to scam a jewelry shop of thousands of dollars.
This is very similar to some scam that I’ve posted a while back, but I can’t find because I forgot what it was called. If anyone remembers, feel free to post the title/link in the comments.

This particular scam won’t actually hurt you, but it will definitely benefit the dealer in a casino if executed correctly.
Watch as Paul and Alex give themselves free money by using fake casino chips.

In this scam, Jess poses as the hotel inspector from hell so she can steal guests’ belongings.
This is a double whammy because Jess gets away freely while both the guests and the maid are worst off.

This is the first Real Hustle video that I’ve watched that involves more than the 3 usual hustlers.
Watch as the crew replaces the casino’s shoe, a gaming device used in casinos to hold multiple decks of playing cards, with one of their own. It’s dangerous, but if performed according to plan, it could play off big.

Dressed as customs officials, the team reveal how fake customs officers are committing daylight robbery by stripping unwitting travellers of their supposedly contraband possessions.
This is one of the many examples of social compliance. You see a person dressed as an authority figure, you do what you’re told.

The next time someone asks you to ‘mind their bag,’ be very careful.
This mark got his laptop stolen for doing good deed.

The hustlers have a ‘winning’ lottery ticket that they have Photoshopped.
Can a mark be scammed into buying it?
