- Great stories of outrageous scammers
I’ve listened to this podcast for years and have loved both hosts story telling and humor. Great for long car rides with my husband who now also listens! I’d give this 5 stars but the last episode on Gallagher I was disappointed with their reaction to the prison sentence for the partner in his crimes. Just because she is a woman who was weird in court does not diminish she actively participated in ruining 60 peoples lives. Not funny or fair to say she should get a lighter sentence because she wa... more

United States11 days ago - Not as good as it used to be
Update: they’re running out of stories. New episodes are quite boring these days. And they’re relisting ‘Encore’ repeats that we don’t need.
The tone is that American over-dramatic style like they are talking to 8 year olds. That said, they have good natural banter and are quite entertaining.

Australia15 days ago - No ads=cool Hate America= not cool
I enjoyed all of the ad free scam stories until I noticed a questionable trend… dissing America. Not surprising these days that immigrants love the opportunities offered here, yet complain about our culture, systems and laws. You two immigrated from Canada for a reason. Maybe stop calling America a SCAM? You chose to be here and we chose to allow it. Where’s the gratitude? You two give major BRAT vibes!
Audible1Amazon CustomerUnited States15 days ago - Unconscious bias or coincidence?
Jewish people comprise 2% of the US and .02% of the world population. Yet close to half of recent episodes have been about Jewish scammers (Bess Myerson, Eddie Antar, Charlie Javice, Kyle Sandler, etc). This could be a coincidence or it could be indicative of an agenda to support the current climate of socially acceptable anti-Semitism. I tend to think it’s the latter (or at least their unconscious bias/ manifestation of their subconscious anti-semitism) because they always take the time to di... more
