The Wedding Scammer

Have you ever been scammed?  In The Ringer’s first true crime podcast, host Justin Sayles tracks a mysterious figure who once wronged him. A man with a lot of aliases, a lot of failed businesses, and a trail of victims. Justin follows him through a sham media company, a series of ruined weddings, and beyond, trying to find answers.  The police can’t offer any help—but maybe we can.  From Spotify and The Ringer, this is ‘The Wedding Scammer.’ A story in seven parts.
