UK TV Channel 4 will at 2200 hrs today Thursday 2 January 2014 broadcast a Documentary titled ‘Secrets of the Scammers’. The programme will form part of the ongoing series ‘Secrets of the Pickpockets and Shoplifters’. It will contain an element on ScamBaiting. Once broadcast, the Documentary will be available for a short period via Channel 4s '4 on Demand’ (4oD) catch-up service.

From the 'three cup trick' to the 'bogus cop' scam, to the sophisticated online computer scams that cost Britons an estimated £3.5 billion a year, it seems scammers are everywhere. This one-off special reveals the tricks of a trade so widespread that it represents a crime epidemic in the UK.

Half the population was targeted by would-be scammers last year - on the street, in their homes and online.

But not everyone has given up in the face of this scamming crime wave. This film features exclusive access to the police units targeting criminals on the streets of the capital, and to a group of 'scam baiters' - concerned citizens who make it their mission to waste the online scammers' time and resources in order to deter them from targeting others.

One group of scam baiters is followed as they communicate with a bogus gold dealer in West Africa and attempt to arrange a meeting with him at an obscure location in Cornwall, while a former scam artist reveals some of the latest ingenious techniques used to dupe the innocent.

I tried setting up an account to watch it and the form didn't allow for us US based baiters to watch. The 2 options were UK and Ireland. Will there be another way TM?

I suspect we will require an extra-big Welcome Mat for all the new visitors that will check out our site after the program. Very Happy

I wonder if Eater will set a new online users record.

Can anyone do a copy of this programme for our non UK friends?

Unfortunately I am a bit behind the times when it comes to recording material with the onset of catch up TV I have never bothered with DVD recorders (etc). I could dust off the old VCR at a push but I am guessing there is an easier way for the technologically more advanced people than me on this forum; which is basically everyone.

I think I've got Channel 4 streaming live with no proxy.

There's no ident and I haven't seen any ads yet, but it looks like it matches what the guides say should be on.

It wasn't primarily about scambaiting though there are significant sections, including a live 'meet up' bait with an attempt to get the scammer arrested - all on film.

The scambaiter gets the last line on the programme.

The fact that it showed what the police were doing against scammers, interspersed with what baiters were doing, it gave a very positive message about baiting and 419eater.com.

Welcome to Eater.

If you stick around, get involved and save just one victim in the course of your baiting, then the documentary has done what we set out to do.

There needs to be a shout out.

The program was heavily edited and there were only 3 baiters in it when there were more working away behind the scenes. Those other baiters weren't mentioned.
Without them, the baits would have been dead in the water and there would have been no scam-baiting segment.

So congratulations and thank-you to Dharma, Cry Havoc, The Dane and Dr Mike.
