About this episode

The episode explores the complexities of trust and deception through the lens of a woman's experience with a con artist.

We had trusted Sophie to help us warn a woman who was being conned by Dragonfly. But it seemed that she wasn’t as immune to narcissistic charm as she had insisted. Sophie had started to give #PickMe energy, but nothing could have prepared us for the reasoning behind her ideology. As Jules’ last conversation with her spirals, Sophie reveals a startling family secret that explains everything. The study that is referenced in this episode is called Tolerance of Sexual Harassment: An Examination of Gender Differences, Ambivalent Sexism, Social Dominance, and Gender Roles, and it can be found at this link: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/B:SERS.0000023075.32252.fd #truecrime #conartist #romancescam #storytime #whotfdidimarry #australia Disclaimer: The views shared in this podcast are our opinions and interpretations of events, not statements of fact.
