Customer Reviews
Host is great
Yudhijit Bhattacharjee is like an Indian Keith Morrison, what a great voice! This story is so well done, and the scam machine doesn’t seem to be slowing down. A friend was scammed a couple of months ago and it will take her years to recover, and she is one of the lucky ones who will be okay.
Top notch
Great storytelling!
Great podcast!
Sheds light on one of the most frustrating things we are dealing with on a weekly, if not daily basis, when we simply just answer our phone. Kudos to Bhattacharjee and all the producers at Scam Likely! A must listen if you’ve ever been scammed or received a phone call from a scammer.
