Imagine calling yourself part of the Dingle family when you can’t even spot an easy scam.

Emmerdale’s Caleb Milligan (William Ash) is having this exact existential crisis. He got caught out easily by a scammer using a fake version of his daughter Steph’s voice to ask him for £5,000. He paid it without question, and now he’s embarrassed himself and is an embarrassment to the Dingle name.

The scammer also now knows he’s an easy target. That is one bruised ego and he should hang his head in shame. Caleb decides to call the police and vows revenge on whoever has done this to him.

As Caleb tries to figure out how this happened, Ruby (Beth Cordingly) mentions that the scammer seemed to know a private detail about Laurel and Ross, suggesting who ever it is, is close.

What Caleb doesn’t know and what makes it all the worse, is that he’s being scammed by a teenager – Jai Sharma’s (Chris Bisson) son Archie (Kai Assi). He’s been outsmarted by a kid, Jai’s kid.

Kerry discovers what Archie is doing and despite a crisis of conscience, decides to encourage him. They’re thrown off course when Pollard (Chris Chittell) catches them and threatens to call the police, but some fast talking from Kerry gets him to back down.

Caleb’s pride is dented and he needs to come up with a fix. Having seen Kerry Wyatt (Laura Norton) with a counterfeit purse, it gives him an idea.

Caleb plans to start selling knock-off goods to get his head back in the game. He has a depot and haulage vehicles, the perfect platform for his crime.

He feels that doing this will give him back his edge, but he must keep it secret from Jai. But he can’t do it alone, so pulls in Billy Fletcher (Jay Kontzle) to be his right-hand man. He trusts Billy – he was the one he gave his bank account details to, to transfer the money.
