The Women Are Plotting

Scams & MLMs


Listen Later

We trade real scam stories, from a dating app crypto pitch to classic IRS impersonation calls, and pull apart the red flags scammers rely on to trigger urgency and secrecy. We also connect the dots between AI voice cloning, fake grandkid cons, MLM recruitment pressure, and timeshares that never stop charging. 


• FTC romance scam losses and why dating apps are a target 
• Fake grandchild scams using AI voice cloning
• How a “financial guru” romance scam moves into crypto and fake websites 
• The telltale lines scammers use, including “don’t tell anyone” 
• How to verify URLs, domain age, and official support channels 
• Teen prank-call “scams” 
• MLM recruiting tactics and the sunk cost trap 
• Timeshares, maintenance fees, and the secondary scams  
• Practical rules like hanging up on the pause, avoiding gift cards and crypto, and calling companies directly 
If you have a story you'd like to share or have any comments, we'd love to hear from you.
