Crime Writers On...True Crime Review Chameleon: Scam Likely
Immigrants and payday borrowers were receiving calls from the US government: either pay the money they owe or be arrested. But it was all an international scam, tricking people into turning over thousands of dollars to con men traveling the country. But with the calls originating from India, authorities had little hope of finding the players and shutting the operation down.
In season four of Chameleon from Campside Media, “Scam Likely” host Yudhijit Bhattacharjee talks to victims, investigators, and some of the phone operators behind an elaborate fraud on unsuspecting people. The team even travels to India in search of the masterminds behind the deception.
OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "CHAMELEON: SCAM LIKELY" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 14 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
