59 minutes

Hello Scamsters! This week we get up close and personal with some skin scams. Remember Proactive? Justin Bieber and Sue’s students swore by it. Our special guest is author and comedian Ellen Haun, who teaches us about the scams behind the serums. We cover the entire Rodan and Fields enterprise, from the billionaires to the tiniest people in the pyramid. And would your boss ask you to defend their company on social media? Should Sue’s mom ride that Diamond Princess, and why do so many senior citizens love the Brodnicks? Don’t get your lashes in a tangle, we answer all these and more.
