British series, if you can find it, called Hustle, Hustle (TV Series 2004–2012) - IMDb

and an American series called Leverage
Leverage (TV Series 2008–2012) - IMDb about groups of con artists, and shows how cons/scams are done.

Thank you very much for your answers

I have just seen American Greed, Episode 6 of Season 13 on YouTube (I haven’t found newer episodes there).

However, you had answered my question which I wanted to ask as the second one (question about documentaries describing frauds etc.)

The British TV show The Real Hustle, which I have mentioned in the first post of this thread, is a bit different from a documentary.

The Real Hustle features a team of quasi-hustlers as they try out some notorious scams on unsuspecting members of the public, filmed with hidden cameras (see below). The aim is to reveal how scams work so that the viewer can avoid being ripped off. After these members of the public have been "hustled for real", any money or property taken during the hustle is returned to them and their consent for the item to be broadcast is obtained.

Of course, I will see all other episodes of American Greed, but if you know about any shows too, which are similar to The Real Hustle, it would be perfectly well.
