    The Return of SCAMTIME! Season 4! Episode 46 (Geek Squad and Stephanie's spam emails)
    Aug 9 2023

    Well Stephanie and Karen went away, but scams sure didn't. We're always going to tell you about them, but probably not as frequently as before.  Join us for our first episode in...forever.

    It's Season FOUR of SCAMTIME! A podcast where your hosts Stephanie Wolfe and Karen Johnson-Diamond share stories of liars, cheaters, hoodwinkers and swindlers, not to mention scoundrels, dirtbags, bamboozlers and toeheads.  We are not investigative journalists , though at times we have played the part of investigative journalists in our daily lives as actor/improvisers.

    In this episode: Karen shares a scam that a friend of hers experienced right before her very eyes. Stephanie should REALLY FILL OUT THE CVS SURVEY!!!!

    Horror westerns!

    Hallmark movies!

    Samurai knives!

    All the names scammers call Stephanie!

    Every email to Stephanie:

    "Dear Client,At CVS, we are constantly trying to improve our service and would like to hear your feedback on how we performed.The survey is short and will only take 2 minutes to complete.And Of Course there's a $90 promo reward to you After FinishingTake surveyWe appreciate your partnership and collaboration".

    Episode 45, Season 3 - Supernatural Bully Romance - Author Susan Meachen and Stephanie's Instagramscam. (TW: Talk of suicide)
    Feb 20 2023
    It's Season THREE of SCAMTIME! A podcast where your hosts Stephanie Wolfe and Karen Johnson-Diamond share stories of liars, cheaters, hoodwinkers and swindlers, not to mention scoundrels, dirtbags, bamboozlers and toeheads.  We are not investigative journalists , though at times we have played the part of investigative journalists in our daily lives as actor/improvisers.


    In this episode, Karen shares the story that just broke in January about romance novelist Susan Meachen  (Trigger warning: discussion of  suicide) . Also the sound on this episode is terrible. No Scam. It's awful. It's our fault. Please forgive us.

    Judy Days!

    The UCP sucking on people's necks!

    Fargo Zombies!

    Perfectly Flawed Sound!
