Description

Season 1

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Jules Hannaford was successful and happy in her life and her job, but was still lonely. She turned to online dating as a last resort, after being single for more than a decade. It seemed she was consistently meeting men who were not good enough. One after another, they seemed only to want to swindle her out of her money, and she was getting frustrated.

Finally, she met a man who had his life together. Truman was a successful project manager at a construction firm, and seemed as excited as Jules was about the possibility of building a life with someone special.

Jules travelled across the world to meet him, and the fairy tale immediately began to unravel. All was not as it seemed.

This podcast is an exploration of the world of sweetheart scams, catfishing, and the ugly side of online dating.

Launching October  25th, 2019.

The future she is imagining is looking bright. They share the same dreams, values and hopes for their lives together, and Truman is saying all the right things. It’s helpful that she bares her soul in a “getting to know you” questionnaire, which has handed him ammunition to be able to tug on her heartstrings in just the right way. But, is she just another Little Red Riding Hood being led astray by a cunning wolf? The time for her to fly to Manchester to meet him is getting closer, and her excitement is reaching a fever pitch… Fool Me Twice - A True Crime podcast is based on a memoir of the same name by Jules Hannaford.

Jules is lonely. She’s exhausted all her options for dating in Hong Kong, so when she hears from a friend about the exciting world of online dating, she jumps at the chance to fish from a bigger pool. She meets Truman, and starts chatting with him regularly – he seems like everything she has been looking for. Excitement starts to build – could this man be the answer to her feelings of loneliness?

Catfishing makes me crazy. They are professional trolls and grifters in my opinion. Makes me ill.

Every episode now is more psychology than storyline. I am listening to hear the story, not the psychology behind the crime. I would rather have fewer episodes to tell the story than listen to the filler...

I love the 2 ads on this series, that fitness and match making. They both sound like scams!

This series was very well done. Because we hear about these schemes so often, we do have a tendency to blame the victims. It was really interesting to see how it all played and the point of view of others who have been violated in these type of experiences as well. This was a great podcast binge!!!

what a putz. the fact that this complete buffoon scammed her is remarkable. he does not in any way sound like a seasoned predator. he is completely stupid, bungling and obvious. nobody in their tight mind would fall for him. she needs to stop letting herself off the hook by describing him as a criminal mastermind and start examining herself deeply
