Podcasts like Scamanda & Wedding Scammer?

[pixy0stix]

I'm seeking recs for podcasts like Scamanda or The Wedding Scammer that track a single scammer through the birth of the scam till their (hopefully) downfall.

Have you listened to Something Was Wrong? Each season is different, some are about cults, some are scammers/catfishers. (I've listened to 6 seasons, I think.)

Also, Dr. Death is excellent.

ETA: others I just remembered: Dirty John, The Shrink Next Door, Sweet Bobby

To answer my own question, I started "Queen of the Con" before I posted.

Agree about Dr. Death, Dirty John and Sweet Bobby.

Dr. death has a new season starting soon. S1 was great, S2 was ok, S3 I didn’t love. Hoping S4 is good. There is a new doc on Netflix that is the scammer from S3. Peacock did a fictionalized version of S1 and one on S3 will be out soon.

Sympathy Pains was good.

I liked Liar Liar which is about Melissa Caddick, who ran an Australian Ponzi scheme.

Corporate Gossip scratches the same itch for me (but is about corporate scandals and generally focuses on one company or CEO per episode).

The Opportunist

Sometimes it's a single episode, but typically it's a few. It's all different types of scammers like religious cults, financial, etc. Id start from the beginning I binged it when I first found it.

Ponzi supernova about Bernie Madoff is really good

I don't know if this exactly fits the bill, it's about catfishing, but I thought it was interesting-Love, Janessa.

Have you already listened to The Drop Out?

The Drop Out and The Retrievals (TW- this is about infertility) were going to my suggestions for when you finish Queen of the Con.
