From Black Swan Murder to a fake social media influencer to an audacious Hollywood Ponzi schemer, each season will take the listener along the twists and turns, the impact on victims, and what’s left when the facade falls away.

Implying that migrants have no support in obtaining ID, licenses (or U.S. Passports) is absurd. NGO's like Cath.Charities, Journeys End and Jew Family Services assist them with every available state,county and federal benefit and of course the most important document, the Democratic party voter ID card.
There is a 1992 movie called "Medicine Man" about a research that discovers the cure for cancer in nature. it is a good flick starring Sean Connery and Lorraine Bracco.
i Illegals doing illegal things... imagine that! Trump will take care of that. 🇺🇸
this cuts out after 1.48min 🤷🏼♀️
This guy is a total nut job!
I love this, discovered it on a delay at an airport and it made the time fly by. New episodes drop on a Monday and it always cheers me up. i enjoy the banter and spending time with these ladies
I really enjoy hearing about the scams but you two are snots the way you degrade men is shameful and if anyone did that to women the screaming would never stop why the double standards you should be ashamed of yourself for doing that
I find myself disappointed beyond belief anytime I hear women say sexist things about men that they wouldn't tolerate in Reverse nor should they tolerate but it seems to be okay to do that to a person that has a y chromosome
I was very disappointed with your lack of sympathy for this young lady. she was horribly sexually abused by a predator, that he was young does not undo the damage that was done. Your lack of understanding that somebody could be treated like this and then just get over it and move on (please add a sarcastic voice at that point) demonstrates how little you understand and is a classic example of blaming the victim. it is proven that places like Riker Island creates criminals.
I quit Twitter even b4 Elon took over because it was so toxic. I can't imagine what it's like to be on it now. After I left, my mental health improved tremendously.
wow, why are white people ok to attack? If comments were about blacks, browns or reds, these girls would be fired before the episode was done. Disgusting.
skrelli went to my high school in NYC, after I graduated thank gawd😯😁
I rarely comment, but this one has my anxiety ramped up. My best friend back in 1975. I think we are lucky to be alive.
I absolutely loved listening to 'Scamfluencers'! The podcast does an incredible job of unraveling the complex world of online scams and influencer culture. Each episode is thoroughly researched and engaging, making it both informative and captivating. https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/sandwich-sack-creations-5798552/episodes/creative-uses-for-sandwich-bag-218341979
Why always use the word “white”? Can’t podcasts stay out out politics or the woke crap. Bye!
How about insipid brown girls stealing the vocal fry from vacuous white girls?!
it was pretty hilarious to hear the federation member claim the organization is not a cartel just because it's legal when what the QMSP/FMSP is doing is the EXACT definition of a cartel 😂
"I don't believe in prison..." someone please explain that comment 🤔😅
I don't really understand why they get weirdly stereotypical and a bit racist about French people, the accent is so off as well...
Anyone who didn't already know would infer from this episode that 'Rebecca' the original novel was German. Rather, it is English, having been written by English author Daphne Du Maurier, and set in Cornwall, where Du Maurier lived and where most of her works are set. And 'the housekeeper' is Mrs Danvers - is there anybody who doesn't recognize that name? I like this series, but the ignorance / dumbing down sometimes feels a bit deliberate.
