The Real Hustle - The Black Money Blag
The Real Hustle - The Drop Swindle
I heard about the a similar scam, a pimp call a victim up on random one day and ask the victim (guy) to be a male prostitute for a day and promises all kinds of pretty customers (Japanese tourist) dying to part with their money for escort males and some other special services!
The Hustle then asked many questions like what is the descriptions of the victim and try to ask specific questions to "interview" him for the job and eventually ask the victim to bank transfer the "down payment" to be a male prostitute. The offer of a lucrative "job" and have some "fun" seems like a great deal and the victim falls for it.
The hustle then text the victim the location for a rich customer to come meet you and eventually nobody came. The number was no longer entertained and the police cannot help the victim as it's illegal to be a male prostitute. So the victim had been Hustled money without even seeing the Con Man and the best part is the police cannot even help the victim! No warning is possible in the police side too...So be very careful on things that are too good to be true...it probably is! :)

The Real Hustle - The I.D Theft Hustle
In Singapore, this is a lot harder to achieve as I had worked in a credit card company previously and it does need lot's of other additional documents photocopy such as Identity Card/EP/Passport/Notice of Assessment/CFP Contribution History/Existing Credit Card Photocopy and of course come to think about it...it's rather dangerous for the bank to send us out to the streets applying credit cards for the public in the ATM!!! That's the old ways...now is the road shows...hmmm how much you actually trust them?
