  • Love this pod!!

    I’m really enjoying this pod- the format is very interesting and new to me, as they’ve worked in TV. It’s creative, thoughtful, organized. They’re simply fun to listen to as they are presumably friends & seem to have a rapport/banter…While still having great respect and compassion for the victims of their story! I love the debriefing episodes, as it gives another POV from those who’ve experienced these events firsthand. Can’t say enough great things about this pod! 👏

  • Great for murder wimps like me

    My imagination doesn’t do too well with gruesome true crime, but I love these scams and schemes stories! At first I was skipping the debriefs but after a few episodes I went back and started listening to them, too. They’re just as great as the story episodes.

  • Great podcast!

    I love this podcast! From the people who brought you Scamanda (which was excellent!), are now doing deep dives on other grifts! They are great storytellers. I’m only sad I’ve almost listened to them all and will now have to wait for more!
