The fascinating story of how serial fraudster David Levi, from Lytham St Annes, masterminded a decade-long fundraising scam which saw more than £500,000 stolen from some of the UK’s most well-known charities, including Â鶹Éç Children in Need, Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, The Children’s Society, The Christie Charitable Fund and MIND.

Presenter Rima Ahmed and reporter Mat Trewern unravel Levi’s extraordinary criminal history, which includes drug smuggling, a landmark eBay ‘phishing’ con and even a scam onboard a Caribbean cruise ship.

They speak to people caught up in his wake and ask Levi himself if his scamming will ever stop.

And will this highly unusual fraud case fundamentally shake our trust in charity donations?
