Timadores
Over ten episodes, Timadores (Scammers) delves into real stories that show how manipulation and deceit can become the most effective tools for committing crimes. José Yélamo serves as the series narrator, contextualizing stories that combine first-person testimonies, reenactments, and meticulous storytelling to reveal the personal, emotional, and financial toll left by these scams.
Each chapter is crafted as a documentary thriller in which the viewer gradually uncovers the truth, following the path taken by the victims: first believing, and only then realizing the deception. Romance scams, faked illnesses, financial fraud, and real estate deception are just a few of the scams covered in this documentary series.
A man who faked having tumors and managed to raise hundreds of thousands of euros, a fake doctor, and an alleged cryptocurrency investment business are just three of the cases featured in the ten standalone episodes. Viewers will also see romance scams, real estate fraud, fake spiritual gurus, and impostors who managed to deceive institutions and citizens for years. Each story proves that anyone can become the victim of a scam.
