Patricia Greco of Buckinghamshire is proud of her son Salvatore, who recently completed a plumbing course. She hopes he is switched-on enough to spot Roger's tricks when he calls to fix their dripping tap. But the nineteen-year-old is too caught up with his games console. Could it be "game over" for Salvatore's chances of making a smart consumer?

Roger also tries his luck as a swimming pool maintenance man, inventing a gadget in order to con a consumer in Kent. Will she pay him the 325 pounds he is determined to charge?

Police and Trading Standards officers in Oxfordshire explain how two rogues pocketed nearly half a million pounds from their elderly victims. Show less
