The Wedding Scammer

Don Quixote quest for answers which I think was unfortunate for the host and fellow victims. The real shame is everyone having any sympathy for the fraudsters. I guess that’s the magic of the con, find the naive, nice targets knowing there’s little chance of getting bit. Not bad for your first foray into journalistic investigation and podcast.

I enjoyed how Mr Sayles laid out his reams of facts mixed in with an interesting story. The amount of effort he and others put into this is admirable. He seemed light at the end but I saw it as anyone who had listened to episode one through six already had a definite opinion on the scammers. How could you not have an opinion and episode seven pulled back so we could digest all we had heard. So thank you for all your hard work.

Don’t let the negative reviews put you off, this was a good story and I hope it gives future people who have to deal with Carl more of the puzzle pieces to his madness. I can’t believe one of the victims actually got any money back from him!! I do wish it was dug into more about the current wedding venue business, are vendors and employees being paid? Is everything above board?

I really like the first episode and cannot wait to listen to the next one, don’t know what all these 1 star reviews are about but really good so far! Give it a chance despite the bad reviews, you have literally nothing to lose and lots of good podcasting to gain! 😊
