    Charlotte Weatherspoon: Grieving Mother Scammed by Fake Funeral Director & Church

    Charlotte Weatherspoon: Grieving Mother Scammed by Fake Funeral Director & Church

    Charlotte Weatherspoon was left in a state of perpetual mourning following the abrupt demise of her son Charles, a situation exacerbated by Shawnte Hardin's deceitful tactics and his false portrayal as a funeral director. Hardin ran the so-called "Hussain Funeral Home and Celebration of Life" within the premises that bore a misleading signage, "Greater Faith Missionary Baptist Church," along with Hardin's name.

    Where to find Episodes 2-8 of Persona

    Where to find Episodes 2-8 of Persona

    In the first episode of Persona, a French banker took the strangest call of her life. On the other end was her boss relaying bizarre orders from a secret agent. Her mission was to wait in a bathroom stall before handing off a bag full of cash. But behind the scheme was no secret agent, rather Gilbert Chikli, one of the greatest con men the world has ever seen. Unlike most fraudsters, Chikli preyed upon the most powerful amongst us. And with that call, he just started in motion the greatest scam of the century.


    If you want to hear the rest of Persona, you can binge all eight episodes exclusively on Wondery Plus or on Amazon Music.

    Episode 358: Everybody’s Last Anniversary Dance

    Episode 358: Everybody’s Last Anniversary Dance

    Seven new movies and a modern classic release this week. Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy are here to tell you what to check out, if anything. They reflect a bit on James Cameron’s Titanic back in theaters for its 25th anniversary and then Erik tackles a new romcom with shades of a film in its 23rd anniversary (At Midnight). Steve looks at a pair of horror films about getting lost in the desert (The Outwaters) and getting lost in religion (Consecration). Then its back to “romcoms” including a long distance, split-screen one with Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher (Your Place Or Mine) and another starring Alison Brie with shades of a film that recently celebrated its 25th that had the same star as the one in its 23rd (Somebody I Used To Know). Finally con artists go full circle on each other (Sharper) and Steven Soderbergh returns with Channing Tatum to lap it up one final time (Magic Mike’s Last Dance).

    S1 E12: HH Holmes - America's First Serial Killer

    Who was HH Holmes? Since his death in 1896, there have been many tales about this mysterious person, the best known being his "Murder Castle", but what if I told you it never existed?  In this episode we are going to separate fact from fiction. There's no doubt this man was a monster, he's just not the same monster you've heard about all your life.

    How not to be conned in business, with Conning the Con podcast host Sarah Ferris

    How not to be conned in business, with Conning the Con podcast host Sarah Ferris

    This week’s guest is Sarah Ferris, a creator, host & producer of #1 ranking podcast series Conning the con; born out of the embers of her sister Emma's horrific experience of being targeted in a romance scam. And so began the journey to create a podcast that aims to educate & prevent others from falling prey to con artists in their many shape-shifting guises.

    Sarah takes us on this journey of intrigue, betrayal, and learning to move on.  It seems that a con artist has all the gift of the gab, is a talented salesperson and  is not held back by ethical misgivings. Lou and Sarah discuss  what to look out for so that you are less likely to be conned in life and business.

    In the light of her experiences, find out how Sarah defines courage.

    Con Artist Ep! Frank Abagnale Jr. and Sante Kimes

    Con Artist Ep! Frank Abagnale Jr. and Sante Kimes

    Have you ever seen the movie Catch Me If You Can?  If so,  you know a bit more about Frank Abagnale Jr. than you think you do. He is arguably the most famous con man, imposter and escape artist there is. Next up, things take a dark turn as we cover the cons of Sante Kimes and her son Kenny Kimes. Dubbed “Mommy and Clyde," they were involved in a string of crimes and murders across the U.S. until they were finally captured in the late 1990s.
