Add straight forward directions
Debbie fox was unfortunately very gullible. Being an active world traveler doesn’t make you less gullible. She did do it for a perceived love connection. If her friend asked her to liquidate assets for them I’m sure she would have had no problem saying NO and sticking to it. In addition to the stories shared, I think it would be more beneficial to STOP the story at the point where the person is about to cave and send money and have the podcast host say “here is what she should do at this point ”. Then explain that the person should (1) role play with themselves. If they themselves need money would they ask someone they just met online or would they ask a trusted friend or family. If they would not ask their internet love interest then it doesn’t make sense that they should be asked. Immediately disengage! (2) before you engage in any interaction on the internet, practice your response for what you would say if someone asks for money. Even if you’ve talked to them for 6 months. If you’ve never met in person, be prepared to say “I am not able to assist with that. Please reach out to one of your trusted friends or colleagues. “ If you are made to feel guilty from a stranger, it’s a scam. Immediately disengage! (3) a show on how to respond to these people with clear direction on what to say might be more valuable. I don’t know how else you make someone less gullible.

The narrator keeps repeating the same lines over and over again. Seems like he needs more practice. I recommend Swindled.

Incredibly well done podcast. The host manages to track down the actual witnesses from every case, so you are hearing the voices of the real victims, the actual FBI agents who worked the case, etc., and not just some droning narrative of the story. Adding to that is the commentary of Frank...Read full review »
