Scam Goddess

I enjoy hearing about scams, and the show is entertaining - but the host is grating. She makes inane comments that are often repetitious of the interviews we just heard. The stories are fascinating, but the host embellishes too much with her own commentary and her way of talking sounds weird for television - it turns out she has a podcast by the same name, which is why she keeps narrating as if it's a podcast/radio, versus the imagery on screen.

I think the show has potential if two reigns in the host to narrate and avoid the overly dumbed-down narration. Show has potential to be a good series documenting scams.

I love that this series begins with a little known small town scammer that deserves a much bigger audience than it had. All the Queen's Horses was the first to document this huge scam, and it fully deserves this follow-up in episode one. Let it be a warning to all small towns who let one person control all the money in a town for decades with no oversight. That is most small towns, by the way. It is midwestern niceness that allowed this to happen, and it continues to happen to the unwary chummy boards of every small town in America. Auditors do nothing they aren't told to do, and since the client is the town itself, no firm looks into anything too closely, so don't expect auditors to find fraud, they will say it is not their job. I laud the host of this new show as well as the hero who discovered the scam, and just warn that whistleblowers are too few and far between. Great start to this show!

This documentary is very informative and allow each of us to be more alert when it comes to scammers in general. If I had to be blunt, this world has suffered enough at the hands of hackers, scammers along with every single seed of villainy poisoning our world. It would also help amplify our awareness of what these scammers are capable of and for us to do the right thing and put an end their crime spress. Sure it may not be exciting to some but it help us all to be aware of these con artists and bring them to absolute justice and drive their deception out with the utmost prejudice. On top of that scammers don't deserve to be part of society. Not now nor ever.

This show has excellent cases that are covered thoroughly and from the perspective of the victims and also the perpetrators (if possible). The host is truly outstanding. She is relatable, compassionate, kind and speaks freely to get to the bottom of things with a true journalistic spirit. She is a human covering cases that affected humans and she does it in a captivating way and with real empathy.

In my opinion, Scam Goddess has the potential to be a great series. I'm on the second episode and already know I'm going to end up binge watching the first season in one day. The only factor that could deter me from watching the show, is the host. Lisa Mosley seems to be more interested in herself than the story. During her own interviews, she would cut the person off after asking them a question and talk over them. It just seems like bad acting on her part as if she's applying or trying to show off for a bigger role somewhere. I hope the series doesn't end, because I'm interested in the topics, but hopefully they can find a journalist or someone more interested in the story and not themselves.
