Catching A Scammer

You’ve read the news and felt outrage over the devastating losses, caused by the most cold-hearted schemes of swindlers and scam rings across Asia.

Now, follow the hunt to bring these crooks to justice by police, prosecutors, and sometimes even ordinary concerned citizens.

This is a true crime series that reveals the untold details of the cat-and-mouse game between investigators and the craftiest criminals – and we hear it from the very people themselves.

We kick off in Taiwan, where sophisticated phone scam syndicates have made off with the life savings of countless victims. Taiwanese police and prosecutors bare the details on the near failures and the unseen devastation that victims suffer.

Also featured is the inside story of Singapore’s own Tinder Swindler, who made the news for posing as the ‘heir of a Korean billionaire’.
