  • Scammer 101

    The tactics of a scammer par excellence. No man or woman is EVER worth hanging cash over too. None is EVER worth not telling your family about or leaving people you know. Ever. If you are tempted to do this, you neeeeed to get professional help. This is the oldest game in the book. Ric or whoever he claims to be is a groomer. A monster. Be smart and never ever ever go silent on the people who love you for any transient or short term person. Never ever give money or cash or identify info to a str... more

  • Awesome, the best yet!

    Found this from listening to The Teacher’s Pet, but this is epic! The best ever. Why are Ozzy true crime podcasts so good? Highly recommended, my heart goes out to Sally for the shameful treatment by NSW Police. Hoping for a satisfactory outcome as only up to episode 45, but finding it hard not to listen to constantly. Well done 7 Network for picking this up and running with it.

  • Don’t Waste Your Time

    Firstly, I’d like to extend my sympathies to Marion, and her family.

    I have never written a review of any kind but felt compelled in this case.

    This is literally the worst podcast I have ever attempted to listen to.

    Endless repetition, needless commentary, and worst of all, examples of gutter journalism that should preclude those responsible from the industry (with reference to their doorstopping, and harassment of

    parties overseas). Way, way longer than it needed to be.

    Please, producers and... more
