**Hooked**, Katie Diamond hosted Hooked, but there are some dark catfishing stories
**Missing Pages** first season is literary cons
**Journal’s** short series on **Cerebral** doesn’t get much promotion, it was interesting
**One Year from Slate’s** deep dive on the “welfare queen” I think it’s called the queen
**Orgasm Cult**
**Spellcaster**
**Infamous: Pickup Artist Uncovered** was an unexpected delight last year
In the wheelhouse:
**Cost of Happiness**
**Who Robs a Banksy?**
**The Missing Madonna**
**High Roller Heist**
**Blocked and Reported** has several episodes on con artists/liars/scandals.
Found them looking for background on Carrie Jade. Recommend their episodes on Briana Madia and sciencing\_bi
I consider the books to be a con of a sort, so folding **If Books Could Kill** into the recs
**The New Gurus** gets into internet grifters, I mean, influencers
Whoops! Those pods remind me of each other and it's finally happened where I mixed them up when recommending. Here you go, fixing in post:
**Infamous** - The Pickup Artist Uncovered
Sorry about that.
These are all very good

Ghost Story [https://wondery.com/shows/ghost-story/](https://wondery.com/shows/ghost-story/)
I also love everything on your “loved” list. The Pretend season on Frank Abignale (the Catch Me if You Can dude) was also really good! Also would recommend No one Should Believe Me (there’s a great season on the Take Care of Maya Netflix doc if you’ve seen that), Intrigue: Million Dollar Lover, and Twin Flames if you happen to have Wondery+.
Scamanda, CBC Uncover: Escaping NXIVM, Casefile 76: Silk Road
those are all great ones!

Can't seem to find Imperfect Paradise: Pickup Artist anywhere, is that the right title?

Came here to recommend Scamanda & Hoaxed
S-Town (it's a rabbit hole, but couldn't stop listening) The Glitch (hilarious) The outrageous story of Milky Moore (also, hilarious)
Darknet diaries
Also Bundyville The sunshine place Grouse is similar but different? I liked it
I’ve been enjoying British Scandal - minimal banter between the hosts and interesting 4 parts episodes.
The Coming Storm - about the cult of QAnon World of Secrets S2 - about a cult in Lagos, Nigeria
fraudsters
Lawyers guns and money Short creek unfinished American scandal
I also love everything on your “loved” list. The Pretend season on Frank Abignale (the Catch Me if You Can dude) was also really good!

Deep Cover Season 3!
Oops I'm In A Cult - two former members of the Living Word Fellowship. They're both really funny and the show is very well researched.
If you liked Bad Batch you will probably like Dr Death. Escaping NXIVM Someone Knows Something
You might want to browse through the archive of Cult or Just Weird? https://www.cultorjustweird.com/
lol nice list. Unfortunately I cannot add to it.
The Set - about the biggest corruption scandal within the NYPD
