Hey, it's Tyler here from The Minds of Madness.

It feels like scams and scam stories are really having a moment.

There are so many shows and movies lately about these crazy con artists.

And honestly, I feel like we can't get enough of them.

Speaking of, there's a new podcast we want to tell you about called Persona, The French

Deception.

This is the true story of Jabair Shikli, one of the greatest con artists of all time.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to pick up the phone, call someone, and

then the phone call $50 million richer?

This series investigates how Shikli successfully duped some of the world's most powerful people

into simply handing over their fortunes.

It explores how he evaded the law for years and evolved into a Robin Hood-like hero to

many.

More than just a tale of criminal genius, this is a show about the moment we're living

in right now.

The golden age of scammers and the power of seduction, but what happens when the fantasy

we've been lured into finally crumbles away?

Listen to find out.

In fact, we're about to play you a preview of Persona, The French Deception.
