The Con

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 .

This is over-produced, and under-informative. There is no depth to the content. There is too much B-roll. The script for Whoopi is pretty lame - like Dad-joke stuff.

Still with real documentaries from real producers and directors.

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.

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!

8/10

This is a well done series that Kay's out how people have been conned is various ways. It's very insightful and helpful for all of us to learn how seemingly intelligent con-proof people get sucked in. The variety of cons ranges from the well known ones like the college entrance one to ones like the psychics that prey on vulnerable people. The amount of money involved are also mind-boggling. People paying thousands for worthless baubles they have been told will fight curses and defeat evil illustrates the desperation of people being conned. The shows also reveal how the con artists are ultimately brought down, sadly often after the money is gone.
