The true story behind the BBC documentary Confessions of a Teenage Fraudster 'The crime of fraud, when conducted well, is a fascinating pursuit. It's a test of intellect, determination and stamina.

The true story behind the BBC documentary Confessions of a Teenage Fraudster 'The crime of fraud, when conducted well, is a fascinating pursuit. It's a test of intellect, determination and stamina. It is a floating mess of fact and fiction that you have to carry in your mind for twenty-four hours a day. It can be used to realize dreams, to slip on any mask required.' Elliot Castro was just a teenager when he began to use his formidable intelligence and charm to swindle millions from the credit card system. No outside individual has ever pulled off this scale of fraudulent activity. But the money wasn't funding an addiction or other criminal enterprises; Elliot was simply a working-class kid with no qualifications who wanted to see the world. From London to New York, Ibiza to Beverly Hills, Castro lived a fantasy life. He stayed in famous hotels, travelled first class and blew a small fortune on designer clothes and champagne. Time after time, Elliot managed to wriggle free of the authorities while his life spiralled out of control. As he juggled aliases, and lied to family and friends, he began to lose his grip on reality. Meanwhile, a detective from Heathrow Police Station was patiently tracking him down. It would soon turn into an international manhunt. In Other People's Money, Neil Forsyth chronicles Elliot's extraordinary journey. A gripping tale of charm and deceit, filled with humour and heart-stopping suspense, this true story offers a fascinating insight into the mind of Britain's most audacious, and friendliest, credit card fraudster.
