About this listen
In the late 1990s, a Scottish teenager named Elliot Castro discovered just how easy it was to cheat the system. What began with a stolen credit card quickly escalated into an international crime spree.
By his late teens, Castro was living a double life — conning banks, jetting off on first-class flights, staying in luxury hotels, and moving through high-society circles. But behind the glamour, he was a young man hurtling toward disaster.
This episode follows his rise and fall: the scams, the police hunt, the glamorous parties, and the moment it all came crashing down. A true story that proves sometimes the most dangerous weapon isn’t a gun… it’s charm.
Keywords: Elliot Castro, teenage con artist, credit card fraud, Scotland true crime, white collar crime, international fraud, true crime podcast, 1990s scams, financial crime.
