It is difficult to say that this movie was inspired by real-life incidents, but few said that it was inspired by a real-couple who were caught conning people. The movie showed how a couple kept cheating people all over the country. They used to pose as other people to dupe rich people. A lot of such incidents came into notice and were also caught after the movie was released. 

Dolly Ki Doli

Starring Sonam Kapoor, Dolly Ki Doli was based on a girl from Uttar Pradesh who reportedly conned men into marrying her and then ran away with their belongings. She used to get married and flee with their valuables on the first night itself. The movie received a mixed response from the audiences all over. 

Special 26

Starring Akshay Kumar, Special 26 was based on a real-life incident. A person placed an advertisement in a leading daily asking for applications for the "Dynamic Graduates for Intelligence Officers Post and Security Officers Post." Proper interviews were conducted at a rented office space. The selected 26 applicants were told to report to a luxurious hotel the next day and were briefed about a 'raid'. The person who was running this scam posed as Mon Singh. These applicants had no clue that they were not hired as Intelligence Officers but were helping a scammer execute a scam. 

Aankhen

Aankhen starring Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, and Paresh Rawal was loved by fans all over. It was based on three blind conmen executing a bank robbery on their own. The movie was absolutely riveting and even inspired a man to conduct two similar robberies. 

Rocket Singh: The Businessman of the Year

Starring Ranbir Kapoor, this movie was an underrated movie of the actor, and Kapoor did this movie at an early stage of his career. He was loved in this story about a 'below average' student who gets ridiculed for his honest work practices by his corrupt superiors. The boy builds a parallel company and uses his company resources to do so. Reportedly, such incidents have happened in companies.

Well, these were a few movies based on real scams and, in few cases, led to scams too.
