Private Jets, five-star restaurants, expensive champagne, how could they afford the luxury lifestyle?

In today's world, the power of influence can be the quickest path to money and fame, but what happens when it's all built on lies?

From Wondery, Scam Fluencers is a new weekly podcast series that tells unbelievable true stories behind

some of the world's most infamous scammers. Scam Fluencers unpacks extravagant accounts of

deception with co-host Sarah Haggy and Sachi Kool, who discover what drove these scammers

to deceive others, why so many believe them, and how our culture allows

them to thrive. Scam Fluencers explores the stories of a fake Saudi prince who swindled millions

from innocent people, a teenager in Scrubs who posed as a doctor and conned elderly patients, a Hollywood

actor whose star role was running a massive Ponzi scheme.

Each season of scam fluencers will immerse you in the shocking tale of a fraudster,

their victims, and what happens when the facade comes crashing down.
