Episode 51 - Maria Duval + LulaRoe

September 06, 2023

Adam (he/him) tells us a tale we are slowly becoming familiar with on this show, psychic scams. Patrice Runner learned about the legendary psychic Maria Duval and saw dollar signs. He used her likeness to swindle millions of dollars from innocent people looking for answers, and then harassed them to send him even more money. The question remains, how much was Maria involved in this scam?

Bec (they/them) shares us about a different type of scam, pyramid schemes. Created by a couple who claim their only goal is to uplift women. Overtime though, it becomes clear that what they're really after is making ludicrous amounts of money that they can hide in shell companies, pushing their workers to the edge and sending out farty smelling leggings.
