The Knife: A True Crime Podcast · Presenting – Hardcore Con with Johnathan Walton · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

So Charlotte takes her young son trick-or-treating and pretends everything's fine.

But deep down, the thought of putting that shoebox with $50,000 in the back seat of that Mercedes is gnawing at her.

And when she gets home that evening, she starts to play the conversation she had that day over and over in her head with the Amazon operator.

With that Federal Trade Commission investigator.

And with the CIA agent.

It suddenly dawns on Charlotte Coles, in her own Kaiser Soze moment, that she's been scammed.

She collapses on the floor of her bedroom in tears.

Charlotte reports everything to police and even writes a piece about her experience for New York Magazine.

But those scammers have yet to be caught.

And most likely, Charlotte will never see that $50,000 ever again.

There are a few things I want to point out here as a victim of a scam who got justice.

And this may surprise you to learn, but authorities do not prioritize scams as a crime.

They almost don't care.

In fact, nine out of every 10 times when you go to the police or the sheriff's office to file a report that you were scammed,

they will not take a report.

They will actually turn you away, telling you it's not a crime because you willingly gave the scammer your money, and that what you need to do now is hire a lawyer and go after the scammer in civil court.

But they're wrong.

Police turned me away too when I lost nearly $100,000 to a sophisticated scammer.

But I figured out a trick to change their minds and push back and get a criminal investigation started.

It's actually a bunch of tricks.
