Doorstep Scammers: Don't Get Caught Out

Each year, Brits lose more than £2billion to scams and fraud, and the criminals are growing more brazen by the day. Alexis Conran returns with a new series exploring the growing world of scammers and con artists. We bring you horror stories of people who've lost a fortune, explain the tactics that scammers love, and go undercover to beat the scammers at their own game. In this edition, Alexis and his team take on the scammers who make us vulnerable in the place we should be safest - at home. Christian from Wakefield comes face to face with a scammer in the privacy of his own home. He invited the man in to sell his £10,000 Rolex but the scammer only pretends to send the money via a custom-built ‘fake bank' app. When Christian refuses to hand the watch over, the scammer steals it. In London, students Alma and Bruno got scammed on the doorstep of what they thought was their future home. After visiting the apartment of their dreams, they agree to pay a full year's rent up-front – £20,000 – only to learn the ‘landlord' doesn't really own the place and he's run off with their money.

High school sweethearts and married couple, Daphne Reckert and Ian Figueira, will abandon their plans of living in a California tiny home when Daphne inherits her late grandfather's 500-year-old chateau on a 130-acre estate just outside of Paris, France.

While the main floor of the sprawling property—which once welcomed guests like King Louis XIII— provides a steady income stream hosting weddings, the young couple will take on the incredibly daunting task of restoring the remaining dilapidated floors and buildings on the grounds, utilizing their carpentry, conservation and landscaping expertise, as well as their families' backgrounds in construction, design and renovation. With passion, determination and grit, Daphne and Ian will confront budget constraints, battle bug infestations, hunt for rumored hidden treasure and tackle a seemingly endless list of projects head-on to breathe new life into the historic estate and preserve her grandfather's legacy.
