So there's this new series The Con on ABC where in each episode they examine a particular topic, for example they did one on the College admissions scandal. Last night's episode which you can see now on abc.com dealt with 3 people who were taken in big time by phony psychics and the private investigator who helped them get justice. They also had on a guy who they called a "psychic expert/magician" who I am not familiar with but he discussed how these psychics prey on people and some of the trickery/fraud that they employ to do so. Although it was appalling how much money these people were scammed out of, I have to say it was pretty interesting how otherwise intelligent and rational people could allow themselves to be victimized repeatedly. Amazing how easily these charlatans could manipulate them, but of course the victims were ripe for it, given how vulnerable they were.
I have seen a lot of this kind of thing before but if you didn't see it it's worth a look, and if you did see it please share your thoughts as I'd be interested in your impressions of the show. |
