CONgregation, get excited for a fresh new episode featuring a brand-new game: Is It a Scam, a Scheme, or the Real Thing?
In today’s episode, Laci is joined by stand-up comedian and actor Frankie Quiñones (This Fool, Creeper’s CholoFit) to unpack the drama between wealthy families in Maine after one allegedly poisoned an L.L. Bean heiress’s trees just to snag a better waterfront view. Yes, really. And yes, it’s tearing the community apart.
Plus, in Scammer of the Week: Ghana’s self-proclaimed prophet Ebo Noah has announced that the flood has been postponed indefinitely… but he’s still very thankful for all the generous donations toward his “arks.” Stay schemin’!
CON-gregation, catch Scam Goddess LIVE in a city near you.
