Ep. - 1743 - SUPER SCAM ME

Mariana van Zeller, the Emmy Award-winning investigative journalist, joins Kate to discuss Super Scam Me, her National Geographic documentary in which she goes undercover as the target of a romance scam. She explains how scammers build trust, exploit emotional vulnerability, and use fake military identities, AI, money mules, and cryptocurrency to deceive victims. Mariana also discusses working with a former hacker to track down her scammer in Ghana—and confronting a man who continues to insist he loves her even after his deception is exposed.     Reality Life with Kate Casey What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@realitylifewithkatecasey Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey X: https://twitter.com/katecasey Vanity Fair Article: https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/story/martha-moxleys-diary Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey
