YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Marketplace joins forces with top scambusters to confront scammers in real time, cracking into networks of organized crime groups and watching some through their own security cameras. We stop nearly a dozen Canadians from potentially losing their life savings at our very own Fraud Fighting Centre, joining forces with scambaiters Jim Browning, Pleasant Green and Kitboga.
