The Travelling Conmen
On the trail of the travelling conmen – Irish home repair scammers crossing America and ripping off millions in cash. Conor Spackman hears about the misery and follows the money.
The scam starts with a small repair, then escalates into major work that will supposedly save your home – but it’s really funding a lavish life for the scammers. Their chief weapon is Irish charm: the travelling conmen have been crossing America, convincing homeowners to part with millions of dollars. With the FBI on their case, Conor Spackman follows the money trail and lifts the lid on where the cash goes.
