“I struggled thru the first episode hoping for one of those stories where you’re drawn in by the charming, skillful and manipulative con artist fooling a vulnerable woman. But this was just a story of a woman who “connected” with a mentally ill liar because she couldn’t find a real connection with...”Read full review »

“This woman has a PHD but goes along with a guy giving all typical “I am a con man” answers & yet she gives him another chance with her “stern” I told him I was going to fact check everything he told me”! Clearly she didn’t hold true to this line or didn’t fact check very well! Makes me...”Read full review »

“Sounds like a guy that is a perpetual liar. The women take no responsibility for choosing to continue to be involved with this guys life. Also equating what this guy did to sexual abuse is ridiculous (unless as the consumers of this podcast we just haven’t been informed that he actually did...”Read full review »

“There are a lot of podcasts on this topic right now, but this one stands out. Wonderfully paced with well-revealed twists, the show still does a great job of the subjects tell their own stories. It’s a truly bonkers con story told with humor and sensitivity, and an incredibly enjoyable binge.”

“So many great con stories why choose this guy? It’s hardly a story at all… and some of these women have the most unbearable voices and it doesn’t sound like they hold themselves accountable at all. Hard pass. Sexual abuse? What a slap in the face to real SA victims.”

“Too many con stories and this one is not special at all. It’s a person with metal illness and you grilled him for an answer. Even if it was just to voice your frustration for your friend, it’s just not the way to do it. What do you expect? Con man is a con man, he is not going to change after...”Read full review »

“This story was just outrageous. Mordecai is truly despicable and downright disgusting. I’ve seen his picture, and I have listened to his voice and conversation, and I can’t even believe anyone would let him near them. It’s just so gross. It is clear that he targeted very vulnerable damaged women,...”Read full review »

“I do not understand why this podcast got so many good reviews.
This is a somewhat boring tale that takes entirely too long to unpack.
You could summarize the entire podcast arc as such:
Despicable serial abused preys on caring, fragile women. And also, somehow the cops should be blamed.”

“Usually symptoms don’t continue to present that late in life. He is not a nice man, but I can’t imagine why that is worth an entire podcast. I have family members who lie like this and I’d be devastated if someone created a whole show about them. Waste of time and seemed exploitative to me, tbh.”

“So Aria dates a man a few weeks finds out he is a liar and goes back for more. Then goes to the cops because (and this is truly shocking) he lies some more. Some of the women are sympathetic and some like Aria make foolish choices. The host is not very interesting. The man is a liar there is...”Read full review »

“How about not dating when you children are young and put them and their safety first instead of your own selfish needs and inserting strangers into their lives after the devastation of a divorce. And we get it your liberal, blah blah blah. That seems to go hand in hand with this shallow behavior.”

“Enjoyed the podcast. It’s a bit of a departure from the type I normally listen to in true crime genre. I wouldn’t recommend dropping everything and listening to it immediately. But if you’re ever in between seasons or podcasts, it’s a good one to have on deck to fill the gap.
