In a series of candid interviews, we relive some of the most audacious scams and fraudulent stunts of our time from the mouths of the perpetrators themselves. Whether it’s money, fame or simply an addiction to lying, we find out what motivated these tricksters and whether the highs, lows and ramifications were worth it.

This resulted in a spectacular rise to the top of the music industry; overnight they were signed to Sony, had their record on “heavy rotation” on BBC Radio and supported D12 at Brixton Academy. Then it all came crashing down.
