Fool Me Twice follows the story of a woman who was swindled out of her money by the convincing lies of an online romance scammer. In this podcast her daughter, in an attempt to understand how this could happen, investigates the shady world of catfishing and internet dating.
It seemed that Jules had finally met a man who had his life together. Truman was a successful project manager at a construction firm, and seemed as excited as Jules was about the possibility of building a life with someone special. Jules travelled across the world to meet him, and as soon as she landed the fairy tale began to unravel. All was not as it seemed. 
Jules’s daughter Zara Hannaford reports on the psychology, risk factors and ways to stay protected from dangerous situations that people can find themselves in online. Experts in the world of scams, mental health and cyber security offer their wisdom and we hear from other victims of scams, so that we might learn from their mistakes.

Music and sound design is by Shayde Furlong. The theme song is performed by Angele Meyerhoff.

Jules travelled across the world to meet him, and the fairy tale immediately began to unravel. All was not as it seemed.
