This week we'd like to introduce you to the podcast, Hardcore Con. It's a new show from Johnathan Walton Media. What on earth could convince an Ivy League-educated journalist to fork over a shoebox with her entire life savings in it to a complete stranger for safekeeping? This is an intricate and complex con involving multiple con artists. And it could happen to any one of us so pay attention to the tricks, the brain hacks and the dark psychology these A-list scammers use to successfully pull off this $50,000 con.
