  This was on BBC2 yesterday exposing the fake people behind the scam including an 'Eyebrow Technician From Essex' it's worth a watch.
  
  Hunting the Whisky Bandits.
  
  Reporter Sam Poling investigates the fraudsters lurking in the shadows of Scotland's £7billion whisky industry, going undercover to learn more about crime's latest money-spinner - cask whisky investment. She meets people duped by the criminals into handing over - and losing - all of their savings and goes on the trail of the missing millions. After uncovering an international criminal network, secretly filming a convicted con-artist and tracking down a shady businessman with a dark past, Sam confronts those at the heart of it.
