The Con

These stories are old, I've heard of them prior to these coming out. I have a huge issue with whoopie... I use to like her in movies, then she became a monster with an overly loud mouth on a dumb talk show... so NO! Her voice as narrative, is disgusting! DO NOT BOTHER WATCHING THIS!

While the show is interesting, Whoopi Goldberg couldn't have been a worse choice to narrate this. First of all, her voice is annoying. It's not for 'radio' so to speak. Second, this is like a true crime documentary series and she attempts to make funny, witty comments throughout. It's not funny. At all! I found myself rolling my eyes during every episode and nearly turning it off. But again, the stories are interesting, some a bit fascinating. But I wanted to watch a true crime doc, not a farse of one. Why on earth the producer of this chose to make a joke of awful things that happened to real people was in such bad taste IMO.

The stories they choose to highlight are fascinating!! I find it amazing that intelligent and educated people still pray victim to these twisted mastermind con artists. And they are artist!! Hopefully with this insight I'll never have to fall victim to these scams. It's just Whoopis rough and scratchy voice just makes me cringe while watching. My husband couldn't stand to watch because of her voice and went into the other room. She is NOT a good voice over choice!! Was Morgan Freeman not available? He would have been 10000000 times better. Anyone would be 10000 better. Another good documentary which was a bit sickening to watch on Hulu is "Stolen Youth - Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawerence" total sick con man.

The show is just OK, however the addition of the so called 'scam goddess' Laci Mosley for season 2 is a terrible addition. As if Whoopi narrating wasnt bad enough then they added the 'scam goddess', which almost makes the show unwatchable .

I liked this a lot. Each episode is a new story. Interesting seeing how these people scam and lie. You would think, that could never happened to me, but this can happen to anybody. It's absolutely worth a watch. And you will be shocked over how rude and false some people can be. I hope to see more episodes of this series in the future. Fingers crossed!
