The Ringer Launches Its First True Crime Podcast: "'The Wedding Scammer"

 There must have been a meeting at The Ringer where someone said, "You know what we don't have?"

People at the meeting glanced up from their phones and nodded. 

Therefore, the Ringer Podcast Network—a Spotify Studio– announced “The Wedding Scammer,” the network’s first true-crime podcast, hosted by The Ringer’s own Justin Sayles.

Have you ever been scammed? In The Ringer’s first true-crime podcast, host Justin Sayles tracks a mysterious figure who once wronged him. A man with a lot of aliases, a lot of failed businesses, and a trail of victims. Sayles follows him through a sham media company, a series of ruined weddings, and beyond, trying to find answers. The police can’t offer any help—but maybe we can.

Listen to the first of seven episodes HERE, where Justin Sayles tells the story of how, after a drive across the country, a fresh start, and an unexpected job offer, he stumbled into the orbit of a con man.

New episodes of “The Wedding Scammer” will drop every Tuesday all the way through November 28th.
