March came from nothing. Now, he’s the 1%. He made his fortune in oil and cryptocurrency. He’s sweet, handsome and charming. It’s hard to believe he’s still single. Only, it isn’t.
Because March isn’t real. He’s a border hopping Canadian con artist who’s tricked women and men out of over a million dollars.
He thought he was untouchable, but now he’s messed with the wrong women.
From Pink Moon Studio, this is Catch Him if You Can. The story of Marcel Vautour, his survivors' real time crusade to catch him, and the broken legal system that’s allowed him to get away for over 20 years – told in 7 parts.
Written and produced by Emilia King and Maggie Reid.

Rooting for the bad guy
Interesting story & ok podcast. The acting is not as bad as some say but can be a little distracting and funny. They make you want to root for the bad guy lol.
Ditch the dramatization
I really like the concept of this pod because I find scams psychologically fascinating. I wd like to see this pod succeed. But first they should ditch the hokey dramatization. It's a distraction and is unnecessary because a quick narration of the scene wd do nicely.
Sooooo Tiresome
I really wanted to stick with this one, because I find these types of stories absolutely fascinating. But this podcast is so very tiresome. I just can’t do it anymore. I barely made it through the first three episodes and only with a lot of fast forwarding. The cringy ‘acting’, the insipid writing of mostly unnecessary scenes, the woman-power-all-men-are-awful crap, the stilted narration…all of it. I just can’t. 😣
