Scam City: Hong Kong
Presenter Conor Woodman goes undercover in Hong Kong to expose the city's hidden hustles, starting with a workshop where craftsmen manufacture fake antiques for sale to unsuspecting tourists as genuine relics. He then poses as a lonely foreign businessman on a dating app catering to "sugar daddies," meeting a young woman who walks him through the transactional courtship economy built around wealthy expatriates. The trail eventually leads somewhere Woodman did not plan on going: a meeting with members of the Triads, Hong Kong's organized crime syndicates, who describe their business dealings with surprising candor. Woodman narrates in the first person throughout, using hidden cameras and on-the-street interviews to show how each scam actually works rather than simply describing it. The episode moves from low-stakes tourist fraud to genuine criminal networks, using Hong Kong's neon skyline and crowded markets as backdrop. It is one episode of the Scam City series, which sends Woodman into different cities to infiltrate their local cons from the inside.
