You never really know someone…especially online. In today’s world, the power of influence can be the quickest path to money and fame, and it often ends in ruin. These are the stories of the world’s most insidious Scamfluencers. And we are their prey. On Wondery’s new weekly series, join co-hosts Scaachi Koul and Sarah Hagi as they unpack epic stories of deception from the worlds of social media, fashion, finance, health, and wellness. These influencers claim to be everything from charismatic healers to trusted financial insiders to experts in dating. They cast spells over millions. Why do we believe them, and how does our culture allow them to thrive? From Black Swan Murder to a fake social media influencer to an audacious Hollywood Ponzi schemer, each season will take the listener along the twists and turns, the impact on victims, and what’s left when the facade falls away. Listen to Scamfluencers on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen early and ad-free on Wondery+. Join Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

It would have scored 5 stars if not for Hagi trying to identify as “brown”. Girl, except for the hair, born out of closeness to the Arabian Peninsula and intermarriage as a result, you’re not as “brown” as you try to pass yourself. Quite frankly, you’re not not as light skinned as an average Kinyarwanda for instance. I lived in and among a very large Somali community within and without African and on the skin tone spectrum, I find myself light skinned at 6 out of 10 Somalis but I’m still proud to think of myself as black. Out with this “brown” stuff, leave it to the South East Asians who are still trying find a singular identity for themselves as a group.
I love it
