Program: Notorious 01 | Inside the scam factory

In the desert just outside Dubai, there is a secret scam factory capable of swindling tens of thousands of people at a time. 

Inside, the scammers smoke, eat and pretend to be glamorous Eastern European women. 

But one scammer has a secret plan — and if he succeeds, it could shut the whole syndicate down. 

Reporter Gina McKeon has the story.

This is the first episode of Notorious, a miniseries dedicated to telling the stories of people known for doing bad things, and the unexpected things we learn from them.
