Congregation, please stand up and welcome these two absolute baddies. Justina Valentine and conceded to the show.

[Conceited]

I just got crowned a baddie.

[Justina Valentine]

That he was a baddie, because actually, Natalie just reached out to him, and he also has a fashion nova deal. So how did you know?

[Conceited]

I do not have no damn fashion nova deal.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Shot a clock. So how are you two doing?

[Justina Valentine]

Everything is good, Lacey. We're glad to be here. And when we got the request for Scam Goddess, it was perfect because Khan is a scammer. So I have a story about him scamming me.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I do always ask at the top of the show, what is your relationship with scams? So it could be anything. You love him, you hate him, you've seen some, you've run some. Okay, so just. You already have something locked and loaded.

[Justina Valentine]

Oh, yeah. I've been tricked by a scammer, and his name is Con Ceded. All right. Because he sent me some pictures, Lacey, and had me thinking that the meat I was going to be served was large, extraordinary, juicy, mouth watering, savory. Right? But the thing about it is, depending on the lighting and the angle, ladies, you could definitely get scammed by the meat pick. And that's what happened with me. I got scammed because when it finally got brought to the table and it was not what I was saying.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I mean, I'm gonna venture out and say that, you know, the ladies, like, we love to put a little. I feel like less and less. Now you're seeing overly photoshopped photos, and it's almost like a sign of your age if you're, like, putting heavy, heavy filters and, you know, you know, shrinking the wall. Like, you know, when you look at that wall and that wall doing the Harlem shape, like, that wall doing the ripple.

[Conceited]

Have you not been at Justina's page?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay, we're gonna be nice.

[Justina Valentine]

The funniest part is you're the one who told me about Facetune. I Didn't even know it existed. So let's not get into it. You told me. Who told me about Facetune?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

You. And there's nothing wrong with a little retouch, a little lighting retouch.

[Justina Valentine]

But that's why it's good you introduce him as a baddie. Because how many guys use Facetune?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I don't know. Probably more than we think. And honestly, like, men don't.

[Justina Valentine]

They don't have.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Their makeup is a haircut or a hat, so.

[Conceited]

Or a beard. That's right.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

You know, so if they want to, you know, maybe they're having a bad acne day and they don't want to wear one of them little stars on their faces that the children are wearing now, like, then, you know, I'm not. I'm not mad at anybody retouching their appearance a little bit, but it does get to a point where it's like, okay, is this what you look like? Because this is someone. So I'm like, if somebody wants to do, like, a little, you know, genitalia pic and maybe, like, give it a little Zhuzhou.

[Justina Valentine]

But, Lacey, the funny part is I have this one friend, and I told her another new app they have that people are using now is a face app. And I went to her page, and I'm like, yo, who are you posting? And she's like, oh, this new app. And, yo, she uses it on number five. So she shows it to me. I'm like, girl, like, this doesn't even look like you. Like, if you're gonna use it, maybe use it on, like, one. But when you put it to the whole five, it gives you a different face.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

And unfortunately, I feel like that's a scam that's happened to our generation is that we're all online looking at edited photos of ourselves and of other people. So now the expectation in real life, when you see people is the filtered expectation. And, you know, back in, like, the 90s or whatever, I look at, like, photos of people out in the club and stuff, and I'm like, oh, you know what? I'm like, this is what people look like. You know what I mean? You don't, right? And now people are going to get plastic surgery and stuff based on what these filters look like versus what it used to be, which is like, if you want a little nip or a little tuck, like, I'm not mad at it, okay? I get a little Juvederm under my eye every now and then to look awake. But now people are trying to look like a Filter. And I feel like that's such a huge scam to everybody because you got.

[Justina Valentine]

To do one or the other. You can't get a new face and use a filter. It's like, damn. Like, get the new face and don't filter. Or don't get a new face and don't use a filter. Like, both is divulged.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I love that there's some people on TikTok who actually will take a celebrity's photo off the carpet or off a video, and then they'll show the post, like, the picture that they posted in the same outfit the same day and put them side by side and be like, this is what this person looks like, y'. All. So don't feel bad about yourself. Like, don't run out and get a bunch of surgery or do a bunch of shit, because, like, nobody looks like this.

[Justina Valentine]

What's worse than that is I have a friend who had a red carpet photo, and I saw her post it, and I'm like, okay, this does not look like her at all. I just wanted to see. So it was an event I happened to be at, too. I went to the Getty. She edited the Getty photos. I'm like, you can't dirt.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

They're out.

[Justina Valentine]

You can't edit the photos.

[Conceited]

They're out.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Well, some people edit. Like, some people have a relationship with photographers where they're like, I'm not gonna say who, but I know some celebrities who have a relationship with photographers who put photos on Getty to Where they won't put unedited photos of them on Getty.

[Justina Valentine]

You have to be like a Kardashian to have that.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

That's what I'm saying. It's like, these are big celebrities who do this. And so they're like, I won't let you take my picture unless you. Yeah, that's. Enhance it before you put it online. So there are people who have those relationships different. Yeah, so. But that's what I'm saying. So it's all kind of a scam there where you think people look better than they do or people in Hollywood. And that's why sometimes when people meet celebrities, they're like, oh, my God, I'm so shocked that that's what they look like or that's how tall they are. So considered. What's your relationship with scams? Like, do you. Have you ever run any. Do you know anyone who's running? Have you ever had any scams happen to you? Do you love them? Do you hate them? It could literally be anything. But if you have a story.

[Conceited]

I've gotten scammed before. I'm a big, big guy into sneakers. Like, I'm really into sneakers, and I always know something that's too good to be true is most likely. Yeah, it is. But I was willing to take the risk. So there was a pair of these Jordans. They're fragment Jordans. They resell for, like, you know, between 2500 to $3000.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Oh, wow.

[Conceited]

And a guy was like. I was talking to him. I'm talking for, like, probably for, like, two hours of just straight messages about sneakers, the culture, just so. I mean, I'm like, oh, yo, he know what he. He know what he's talking. What he talking about. It seemed like we got some. Some common ground. We actually know of common stories that's not out to everybody.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So where'd you meet this guy?

[Conceited]

This. This was on Instagram.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay.

[Conceited]

So he was. Yeah, so he was like, yo, I got. I got some kicks in your size. Boom, boom. I'm saying, yo, what do you got? Then he showed me those. I said, yo, I need those. And then he was like, yo, I think he was trying to sell to me for 2800 at the time, right? And then we just started talking about a whole bunch of stuff in the sneaker industry that's like, that. That only people in the know know of. When it all got said and done, I was like, yo, come on, man. It's too much. I. I hear like, damn. You know, I. I with you, Con.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I'm a fan.

[Conceited]

You know about kicks. All right, I got you for 1700. I'm like, I bet. So I always do everything through PayPal.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Now was too good to be true. Like, was 1700 a decent price or not?

[Conceited]

100, 100. Like I said, they go for anywhere between 2,500 on the low end and 3,000 normally.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

And did he say he had a plug or, like they were gonna fall off a truck or disappear from a stand?

[Conceited]

He had him, you know, so, you know, it's just. It's just one of those things, you know, he got them earlier in life, you know, where they weren't that much money, and he just sat on pause. So anyways, I was like, yo, I only do deals through PayPal, because PayPal you are covered. You're like, Yo, I can't. My PayPal is cooked, because blah, blah, blah. So I can only do. And here's where I up. I know he said, I can only do Apple Pay. So I'm like, all right, bet. I'm texting all of my man said, yo, I'm gonna get. I'm about to get the frags. I said, but I know. I know it's a scam. It has to be. I know it is. And I still, like an idiot, did it. And he scammed me, and he was texting me the whole time, like, yo, here's the tracking number. The tracking number never existed. They're like, oh, let me check. Let me check.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I'm like.

[Conceited]

And that was really the only time I got. I got scammed, too, to be honest.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay, but did he keep his Instagram going? Because you're talking to this person on Instagram, so.

[Conceited]

No, no, no. Well. Well, actually, I don't know. He blocked me, so I have no idea.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Oh, he blocked you?

[Conceited]

Yeah, yeah. So I have no idea.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So as soon as the payment went through, it was just. You didn't see no account?

[Conceited]

No, no, no. It was probably, like. He didn't block me probably until like, a week later, maybe. I mean, he still was. Yeah, I sent it. Here's the tracking number. He still, you know, was doing all that, and I guess once. One. One time, you know, when. Yeah, it went by, and he probably. All right, he probably realized the scam now. Let me just block him. Let me block him.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay, so this person kind of set up the situation where they had camaraderie with you. Y' all were talking about shoes. They. They had enough information to where you thought that they were a credible person. So.

[Conceited]

So. So, yes. But like I said, I knew it was too good to be true once the price and the method and the payment method. So I knew. But I was like, you know what? I'm taking. I want these shoes so badly. I'm taking a chance because if the event happens where the shit goes through and it's good. I'm the luckiest nigga in the world. Like, I lucked up and got this pair. Crazy. But it was a chance I took and I got.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay, so you knew. So this is like a casino. This was like a scam casino. You was like, let me put a little money on black. And you know, yes. If it works out, I. If it doesn't, you know, I have fun playing. Okay. I'm not mad at a scam. Russia or. Not Russia, roulette. But a scam roulette, where you like, okay, I know I might get robbed, but I might come up.

[Conceited]

Yeah, it might. You never know. There's a small chance in there somewhere, and if that chance hits, it's lit.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

And I mean, y' all are working. Y' all wilding out. Y' all got the popping podcast. You know, you get. You took a little chance, you took a little risk. Okay, so I don't feel too bad then. For either party.

[Conceited]

You don't feel bad.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay. But listen, I do feel bad for you. Cause, see, it. I feel bad for you.

[Justina Valentine]

Is not that crazy.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I've never seen somebody's neck shift so far back on their shoulders. Like, he was so offended.

[Justina Valentine]

That's not that crazy. I'm scared, me, for more than that.

[Conceited]

Yeah, but that's fine. That's all right.

[Justina Valentine]

How is it? Oh.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Oh, so it's fine when you scam Justina, but it's not fine when the sneaker man. I pay.

[Conceited]

I pay. I. I pay her back with nights of passion that she can never get anywhere else. Congratulations, right?

[Justina Valentine]

She don't believe that. He scammed me into buying some stock that he was going for. Spend like 15k on the stock plummeting.

[Conceited]

It wasn't me. That was your man.

[Justina Valentine]

Oh, yeah, you're right.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Oh, that was, my gosh. Conceited. Please tell me you're not an ftc. You're not an ftc. Boy, are.

[Justina Valentine]

You did scare me into getting that one stock, fx.

[Conceited]

I think you're trying to say ftx is what you're trying to say.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I don't even know. See, I said Federal Trade Commission because my brain immediately went to where they need to be stopped.

[Conceited]

But no Justine to clean it up. That wasn't me, right?

[Justina Valentine]

That was my other friend who made me get the amc. But you made me get something, too, off Wish. Or maybe it was Wish. I forget.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

But you.

[Justina Valentine]

You made me lose, like, five stacks real quick.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

What are y' all doing on Wish?

[Justina Valentine]

I don't know. Consult me. Like, it's always.

[Conceited]

I don't even remember this. Yeah, no, she. She's talking about.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay, plausible deniability.

[Conceited]

He's talking about the Wish stock, but I don't remember that.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So isn't Wish like a kind of layaway, like. Like a Klarna type situation? Or am I wrong?

[Conceited]

I actually have no idea. We just know that the company was about to be going lit, so we decided to invest into the stock.

[Justina Valentine]

Yeah, Khan was like, yeah, it's going to the moon Invest. And then, yeah, just. It tanked.

Because I do think there is an ethical scam, and I think there are deeply unethical scams. Conceited. I'm gonna say the shoe robbery that happened to you, like, that's not ethical. Like, he chopped it up with you about shoes. He said he was an expert. He said he was gonna give you something, and he didn't give it to you, but he took your money for it. So that's trash.

[Conceited]

Thank you.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So the first one scammer of the week is Right. Swipe. So we're gonna get into the burglar theme here. There's an LA resident and OnlyFans model, Adiva Lavie. And she's pretty. Yeah. A diva. And I like that name. Adiva. So she made news for using dating apps to meet men online and burglarize their home homes. She's 29 and uses the apps to meet older men and build their trust before taking cash, cards, and anything small enough to fit in a pocket from their houses. She's apparently done this at least 10 times in Malibu and LA county, and she's been arrested before for similar crimes, but is currently wanted and on the loose.

[Conceited]

Wow.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So while on the run for stealing from older guys on the apps, she's also been accused of theft from small businesses in Southern California. The owners of a skincare spa and clothing store in Los Angeles say that Lavie stole from them. And another business in Riverside county said the same thing. She's gotten away with more than $10,000 so far. So I will say, like, because it says small businesses and skincare spas. I wonder if she was stealing injections, because, so remember earlier I was saying, like, I'll get a little juvederm under my eye like once a year, because in my family, it's just like a hereditary thing where your under eye starts to get, like, you lose, like, the fat, so it starts to look darker. And I'm just being honest. With y'. All. Like, I remember I was putting on concealer one day, and I was like, oh, this concealer don't work anymore. Let me try a different one. And I tried, like, four different concealers before, and I, I. I was actually very proud of my confidence. I tried, like, four different concealers before. I was like, it's my face. And so I was like, oh, okay. I can just get this little bit of juvederm filler here, and it just brightens my under eye. And I do it once a year, and I've probably done that for, like, three years now. But when I go to the med spa and get this done, like, obviously after they put it in, they can't. If you don't pay, they can't be like, come here, we taking it out. Like, they can't get it back, so you pay for it beforehand. So I kind of wonder if she was at a misspa, where they were, like, doing whatever she. Because she definitely looks like she has some lip filler and maybe, like, some other stuff done. I wonder if she was getting it done first and then running out the door.

[Conceited]

That's one of the.

[Justina Valentine]

I mean, she probably. She probably could have just done it for promo. It's pretty girl, like, Right?

[Conceited]

But then again, like we talked about in the beginning of this, we don't know what the she really looks like.

[Justina Valentine]

Well, yes, we do, because in her last picture, that's what she really looks like. This is a filter. Go back to the other picture. This is her. I mean, she's still pretty.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Is that a mug shot?

[Justina Valentine]

That's more of, like. It looks like a mug shot. I'm assuming.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

It'S giving more dmv because there's, like, a blue background. So this is her. Okay. But even the dmv, they're not giving you. No, no favors.

[Conceited]

No, no, no.

[Justina Valentine]

That's what I'm saying. Yeah. No, she's still. She's pretty regardless. That's what I'm saying. If she was scamming to get lip fillers or something, I feel like she could have just done it for some promo, you know, depending on.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Well, Justina, not everybody has a big following like you, so.

[Justina Valentine]

But I'm just thinking if she's a.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Pretty girl, like, modeled for the.

[Justina Valentine]

She probably does have a following, I would think, because that's probably how she's connecting with them. But also, I feel like it's so many. I think she. She was hustling backwards because there's so many older guys that would have wanted to Just give her money. I don't really feel like she had to scam them or go rob them. She could have just collected her a couple of little sugar daddies and got whatever she wanted.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yeah. But it's kind of given that she wanted fast money and she didn't want to do the girlfriend experience.

[Justina Valentine]

She didn't want to put the work in.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yeah, yeah. And I do want to note on that because I know on TikTok and a few social media profiles, like, it's. It's very clear when you, when you see like a woman who's like a high end escort and we don't shade sex work over here, it is work. It's exhausting from what I've heard from my friends. But my thing is, is like, I don't like when people get on TikTok or on the Internet and they'll be like, oh, this is how you meet a nice man and then you go on a date and then he takes you on vacation and they make it seem like they're in a relationship with this person and it's not transactional. And then you have like all these younger, you know, beautif women growing up thinking like, oh, I could get a boyfriend like this and he's just going to take me to Turks and Caicos and he's going to take me to Chanel. And it's like, no, girl, this is a profession. And they're not telling you the profession part. They're just telling you like, oh, I'm a girlfriend to this man. And it's like, no, it's not that easy.

[Justina Valentine]

You're going to go up in Dubai and then have to sleep for a week when she gets home. Sleep for a week and go through.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

The car wash. Oh, yeah, no, those Dubai trips, y', all, they're not. They're not what they seem. They're doing very vile things to those nice ladies over there.

[Conceited]

So, you know, they're doing vile things also.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Oh, gosh. All money ain't good money. So. But, but, but it's still. If you're into that and you want to do it, I'm all for it. I just don't like when people scam and lie and say that. It's just like this easy lifestyle that they fell into. No, it's a profession. It's a job. So clearly a diva did not want to put in the work. She was like, no, I'm gonna just come to your house and I'm gonna rob you real quick and go about my business.

[Conceited]

So Lacey Is this ethical or unethical?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Well, we've got a little bit more on her before we ask that question.

[Conceited]

Before we get. Okay, my bad.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So a Las Vegas based podcast host named Michael Sartin. Have y' all heard of him? I haven't either. Well, Michael Sartin claims that while she was a guest on his show Access Vegas, Lavie slipped into the green room and took valuables out of other guests bags, including, including cash, car, and then returned to the show.

[Conceited]

No, no, no, no. That's dead crazy.

[Justina Valentine]

If she wasn't thinking she needed to leave. Like you just take it and come back. It's crazy.

[Conceited]

I understand how you. This pop. Like you look good. You do. Like, that first photo you showed looked like the COVID of something.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yeah, that was fhm. That's a magazine.

[Conceited]

Okay, so she's doing all that and just. Okay, she must not obviously not be from America, I'm assuming. And she moved here from where?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Now, why you gotta make her. Why you gotta make her an immigrant?

[Justina Valentine]

Why are you calling?

[Conceited]

I mean, no, I mean, no, I mean, she does. Look, she. She does.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I mean.

[Conceited]

Oh, no, no, no. But my. No, my whole point was that that's probably. She's probably here and like, you know, needs to find a way to, you know, to keep getting bread because she probably can't work. That's why.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Or maybe she's just bad with money. You know, it seems like she enjoys a lavish lifestyle. Money can go fast if you spending it. What?

[Justina Valentine]

I mean, a diva was a diva and she didn't want to work.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

She was a diva. Yes.

[Justina Valentine]

She just didn't want to work. I think that's.

[Conceited]

She was. She was a thiefa. She was a thiefa.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

She was a thiefa for sure. She was a FIFA for sure.

[Justina Valentine]

She didn't want to work. She wanted to get it the fast way and she got caught up.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yes. And this podcast host, Michael, he's a high status performance coach for men who want hot women to date them. And he seems to be personal friends with Andrew Tate.

[Conceited]

Ugh.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

As a podcast host, I don't want my guests stealing from me, but this feels like a Robin Hood type situation where I might be on her side for this one. Just because if you telling me, like, you're friends with Andrew Tate and you are. You're a high. You're. First of all, you're a coach. A coach of any type. Like, what do you mean? You're a life coach. We all just. This is the first time we all been on earth. How you gonna coach me? And also, like, this is, like, creepy manosphere type shit. So I'm guessing the guest that she robbed probably suck. Not saying that it's cool. I don't want my guests to be robbed. I would never want y' all to come on the podcast. Get Robbe. But y' all are obviously better people than the guests that he's gonna have on his show. But the police say that Lavi is 5 7, she weighs 104 pounds, has brown hair and eyes, and she uses other names like Mia Ventura, Shoshana, and Shanna. And then we got some other information about her, but I'm not gonna say that's the same girl. Yes.

[Conceited]

Yeah, this is the same girl.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

It's different angles and lighting. It looks like the same girl to me. Me.

[Justina Valentine]

Oh, she might have, like, because her.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Chin is up right now. Her hair is lighter. The sun, she got natural light on her face, and it's like, hella filters on there.

[Justina Valentine]

Well, her eyes are a different color. Her hair's a different color.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Her eyes are the same color. Justina. You know, when you need a Justina.

[Justina Valentine]

The other pictures are brown.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay, both of y'. All. Have y' all ever met a person with, like, hazel eyes who will, like, like, specifically take photos where they're staring almost directly into the sun so they look lighter?

[Conceited]

Yes.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

That's what she's doing here.

[Conceited]

First. First of all, these are contacts.

[Justina Valentine]

She's got some contacts.

[Conceited]

These are contacts. These are contacts.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Let's zoom in. They might be contacts.

[Conceited]

No.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay. Okay. Just to say in their contacts. They're contacts.

[Conceited]

They're definitely contacts.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Oh, yeah.

[Conceited]

A million percent context.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Justina Valentine]

Because her eyes look brown in the other picture, but because her eyes are.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Brown, there's some other descriptors about her, but I feel like I'm not gonna let those out because I'm not trying to let her get caught. Like, I'm not at the feds, but how do you. So how do you feel about a diva? Is she a diva or she's a thiefa? Is she both? Do we hate it?

[Conceited]

I'm calling her FIFA.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay. How do you feel?

[Justina Valentine]

I mean, so she hasn't been convicted or anything.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

This is all alleged, so she's been pulled up on some charges before, but she's currently on the run. She's on the lose.

[Justina Valentine]

Okay. Because I was going to say, we've seen the mug shot. I'm not one for stealing from other people. Yeah, there's been a time when everyone stole. You know, growing up from the store, you might take A little candy. You might take some whatever. But that's more like you're stealing from a big corporation, stealing from someone, you know, their hard earned money when you just trying to get a quick buck that I don't like. So going in people's purses, bags, homes. Going into people's homes is just a whole nother story, because either you're getting shot, they might get. Now you're taking it. So, yeah, she's a FIFA. I'm with Khan on this one.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay? A FIFA, not a diva. I'm gonna side with both of you. You have convinced me. I was kind of with her on robbing the manosphere. But the thing is, is that there had to have been other women there, because men typically keep all of their belongings in their pocket, like it's in their wallet. So if she's going in a purse, that's a woman, right? So, no, probably some other woman that they set up to be on that show so they could talk crazy to them, because that's what they like to do over there on that side of the Internet. So, yeah, a thiefa. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna get you caught. I'm not gonna put out no details. I don't want the bolo alert out. But you need to stop, especially robbing people's homes. You bring up a good point there, Justina, because, like, you, first of all, that's risky as hell. You're right. Like, somebody could get the pew pew and, you know, regulate all your ass. Also, they invited you into their sacred space. Like, that's where they eat, they sleep, they. You know, that's their personal home. And you decided to rob them. That's. It's easier ways to get money out of men. They'll just give it a away. Like, what? You don't have to work that hard. You cute, right?

[Justina Valentine]

Well, I'll say that. She's good at changing her appearance. So she's on the run. She probably has, yeah.

[Conceited]

I mean.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I didn't believe it was the same woman.

[Conceited]

I would walk past her like I could be out looking for a thief the whole entire time. Oh, my God.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Got it.

[Conceited]

And I would walk right past this girl.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

He said, kinky power. I wouldn't know a thing.

[Conceited]

I wouldn't. Not at all.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Sorry To a FIFA. Okay, let's move on to Akon and Young. Jeez. Convict music. Heavy on the con, right?

[Conceited]

Akon is Akon.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So Akon, I don't know if y' all knew about this, but he had a fake city Powered by cryptocurrency. So it was powered by cryptocurrency scammers.

[Conceited]

But it was fake.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yes, it was indeed fake. So. So Akon did get locked up, but not for that. You know, they won't let him out. They won't. And so that makes me think Akon was like, can y' all let me out? And they were like, no.

[Conceited]

Imagine if he was singing that shit in there. They're like, no, that's not gonna work.

[Justina Valentine]

Never. I never heard about that.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So. Authorities in Atlanta arrested Akon on November 7 for driving with a suspended license and for failing to appear in court previously for driving with a suspended license. He wasn't driving very well since they found his cybertruck disabled in the street in front of a business called tentworld. Akon said the battery had died and he was waiting for a tow truck. He was released after less than six hours. There's still no word on the future of akon City, the $6 billion metropolis based on Wakanda that he said he was going to build in Senegal. So this was his, like, Dubai, because, you know, they say, like, Dubai is like a city that was designed by rappers. And he said he was going to do it in Senegal and it was going to be Wakanda forever. Well, kinda Wakanda.

[Conceited]

Well, kind of forever.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

And he was not locked up for this, even though he did have a lot of investors and, like, cryptocurrency scammers, like, getting investments and stuff. He wasn't locked up for this. Even though the city has failed to appear. And look, he got murals of himself and all types of shit, but. And here he's calling it Akon City. I can't. I don't know if your name is Akon exactly what it is.

[Justina Valentine]

Akon City, so. But let me ask you a question, Lacey. This is something that he was planning to go into production with and it just fell through, or like he was.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Raising money for it. Nobody knows where the money is going. The city has not been built, obviously, and it's kind of one of those things where he's just doesn't really address it. But he was locked up for briefly, just for the suspended license situation. And why is he driving a cyber truck? Like, yeah, they should put you in jail for a little bit. Do we like this scam?

[Justina Valentine]

I'm gonna give Akon the benefit of the doubt because so what he was locked up for has nothing to do with the city, that driving stuff. So I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. I Know Akon. I like Akon. And I feel like if he said he's gonna do it, it, he's gonna do it. He's gonna figure it out. I feel like he's, you know, I've heard of him doing a lot of things, like in the community. So I feel like he is a good guy and I believe in him. I believe Akon City is gonna come to fruition.

[Conceited]

Con.

[Justina Valentine]

What you think?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay.

[Conceited]

I mean, the same. I mean, like, like you said, we. We know Akon, we know him, you know, I mean, he's cool. He's always been the man of his. Of his word. From what we know, from what he told us, he always pops up on us, etc. So I give a con, again, the benefit of the doubt and this. And if he does this, this will make him like that dude. You'll be an icon, a legend. You will go down in history books like you will be in history books to come.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So I also would imagine that something this grandiose would take a lot of time and a lot of investment. And if you get pulled over for a suspended license, like, you know, you waste time, bro. Bruh, like, so, you know, we'll see.

[Conceited]

But maybe he was so busy working on Akon City, he didn't have time to renew his license. That's another way we can look at it.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay, I'll take that.

[Conceited]

And he has the word con in his name, like I do. So I gotta rock with him.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

You gotta rock with him because he got Khan in his name. Okay, gang, gang, gang, gang. All right, I'll be outside with my gang. Robbery.

[Conceited]

One second, one second. Can I please just make a confession?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Please?

[Conceited]

And nobody. Nobody judged me. I've never seen Pretty Woman ever. And everybody thinks that. Yeah, everybody thinks I'm bugged out for it, but let's not dwell on that, please. We're not talking about me. You can continue, please. I don't want to be.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay, consider you have to watch Pretty Woman. Y' all go to Conceded's page and remind him to watch Pretty Woman. It's an iconic movie. It's so.

[Conceited]

I know I keep it in it. I'm like, every girl I know, my grade, they were like, yo, what? You haven't seen it? So, yeah, I'm sorry.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

We gotta get that in your eyeballs. It's so good. So we're gonna call this person Pretty Woman. They went to the Starlight palace shopping center in chongp, was carrying an Hermes handbag and wanted to buy some clothes. Now, I will say that, like, when I go into, like, an expensive store, I typically will wear a little bit of designer so people don't try to play me.

[Justina Valentine]

That's smart. See, I like that. No, I got. Don't be walking around like, I'm going to take something. I like that.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Right? And you better come over here and offer me a sparkling water. I know that. Okay. And ask me what I'm looking for. Okay. Hell, I'll take a. I took a Chanel with me to get surgery because I was like, I don't want y' all to be like, look, there's so much discrimination when it comes to black women in hospitals and stuff. And I was like, I took my little Chanel with me, and I also told them I'm very.

[Conceited]

What was the. What was the point in that, though? What is the relationship?

[Justina Valentine]

She wants them to know she has money and don't play with her. Like, she'll lawyer up and do whatever she has to do.

[Conceited]

No, I'm saying. I. I don't get it. So, all right, so you go with the Chanel to the hospital to get surgery.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yeah.

[Conceited]

And I'm saying in the event of what it's like, I want them to know I got bread because.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Because I've had situations where nurses will deny me the pain medication that my doctor prescribed me. Okay. There's a lot of, like, nurse the nurse to cop pipeline. Like, they're all just like, people who. Not all. I'm taking that back. Way back. There are a lot of amazing nurses who are in the healthcare industry for the right reason. They wanna help people. There's also a lot of nurses in the healthcare industry who want control over people in their most vulnerable moments. And when it comes to being a black woman in a hospital, they don't believe that we have pain. They think that we have superpowers, think that we're jonesing for drugs. I can't even take, like, most strong pain medications without Zofran because they make me physically ill. Like, I'm not in here trying to get high. I have to do pain management. This is what I was told. And I'm in the hospital. It's not like I'm like, oh, give me some of those perks to take home. Like, be serious. Like, I just got my stomach cut open. Like, can we be for real? And I did have nurses try to deny my pain medication. And. And I tell everybody this. Even if you don't got a Chanel, if they try to deny your healthcare, just go ahead and be like, hey, well, can I go ahead and get your name? And can you put in writing while you're denying my care that my doctor advised for me? Like, just go ahead and let them know that you gonna sue. And you'd be surprised how quickly a lot of them will just switch up and be like, you know what? Let me go get that for you. No, no, no, no, no. Or yeah, I'll start quoting statistics at em. Like, the mortality rates of black women in hospitals. Like, all of us can do that to, like, get them off of our asses. Because, like, there's a lot of people in the healthcare industry who are fucked up. We've seen how many nurses out here doing Godd tiktoks next to somebody coding and shit. Why are you on TikTok in your scrubs? The patient is right there. I can see they leg shaking. Help them. Clout is a disease. I'm like, you're a medical. You are a healthcare professional. Why are you trying to go viral, bitch? If you don't get back there and put your scrubs on and get them tongue depressors and do whatever the fuck you supposed to be doing. Like what?

[Conceited]

Damn, it makes you scared to even go to the damn hospital now, son. That's crazy.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

It's wild. Like, going viral has really changed the way that people look at social media every day. People think that they can do what influencers do. And I'm like, all of my friends who are professional influencers, they're taking video, they're doing content hours and hours and hours a day. They're posting on a schedule. They have like teams and people who help them with it. It's actually a job. And you think it. They make it look easy because that's the point. But you don't want that job. So. Yeah, but like that's the situation. But anyway, so back to Pretty Woman at Louis Vuitton.

[Conceited]

Right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Right. So the staff ignored her. She walked in with her Hermes and was like, I'm somebody. And the staff ignored her when she asked for a glass of water. And they pointed her towards the previous season of Louis garments after asking to see new stuff. So she came in with Hermes, they wouldn't give her no water, she thirsty. And they were like, oh, the. The poor people section of Louis Vuitton. Which is crazy to say over there. So when she asked the staff for dresses to try on for a fit, they rolled their eyes at her. She said she told her story on the social media app Little Redbook. She said that after this bad experience, she called Louis Vuitton headquarters but heard nothing back. She carried that grudge for two months. Okay. A petty icon.

[Conceited]

I like it.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Holding on real tight. Death grip on a grudge for revenge. She bought a bag full of 80,000, like, like 80,000 USD worth of loose Juan, which is like 600,000 won, which is Chinese money. And she brought that back to the store along with a personal assistant and a friend. They tried on some clothes before deciding to buy and handed over the bag of bills as payment. It took the staff two hours to count all the money. Then petty pretty woman turned around and said she changed her mind and didn't want to buy anything anymore and took her money back. Back.

[Justina Valentine]

She Came through with the. The strip club singles.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yes.

[Justina Valentine]

Damn.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yeah, she got. It looked like bands. Yes. But let's.

[Justina Valentine]

Let's be honest. Like Louis Vuitton. I think you said this was in China or something. Like, they don't have money counters. They're counting singles by hands. Is. Is crazy.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Well, because typically nobody would come in with that much loose. Like you would come in with big bills. You wouldn't come in with like, that's like coming in to like, you know, Louis Vuitton here with like a bag of change and being like, oh, it's all there.

[Conceited]

Even a ca. I mean, I mean, who even uses cash nowadays? Nowadays, you know, everything is so digital tap and swipes and cards and.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Well, see, I would beg to differ there because for some reason, every time I go into a designer store, there is always at least three dudes coming in with like, bankrolls, and that's how they pay.

[Conceited]

That's crazy. I barely ever. I barely ever see it.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I don't know how they have access to that much cash. That's why I'm like, is this above board? Because to get cash out of my bank, it takes so much work. They do not want to give me cash ever. If you want large amounts. So.

[Conceited]

Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

But every time I go into a designer store, I always see at least one or two dudes who are paying straight cash for a lot of stuff, which I'm like, what do you do for a living? Get all that cash?

[Conceited]

Maybe they need to come on the show, right?

[Justina Valentine]

They get their bread.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Do we like what? What? Ms. Petty, pretty woman. It.

[Conceited]

Oh, I love it. Love it.

[Justina Valentine]

Yeah, I like it.

[Conceited]

I. I would. I wanted. I want to do that. I'm gonna go somewhere. I'm gonna go to every designer store, sag my jeans all say, like, I get this black eye and then I'm gonna come back with pennies.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Matter of fact, you could get away with that, though. Conceited. In a lot of stores.

[Justina Valentine]

If. If you're gonna do that, you better not wear all that jewelry. You better go incognit though.

[Conceited]

Yeah, I won't go as conceited. What do you think?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Oh, what do I think? Oh, no, I love it. I'm petty. I love it. I live for a petty moment. Let pettiness fuel your success. Okay? Ain't no reason to, like, hate on your haters, you know, just win on them. I love to win on people. But yeah, I've been into stories where they treated me poorly and I absolutely will leave. And my thing about that too is like, you work here, baby girl. So why are you trying to be a snob?

[Conceited]

And you chose to work here. It's not like you. You went to go fill out an application to work here. Like, what the hell, son? It's crazy.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

And those are great jobs. You can make a lot of commission. You can make great. You can make six figures a year working at some of those stores. So it's not like I'm saying you work here like you're less than me because I shop here, but I'm saying, like, you work here, like, why wouldn't you be trying to get the bag? I'm confused.

[Justina Valentine]

And then the second that you do buy something, they'll treat you so different.

[Conceited]

Oh, yeah, 100%. Happened to me in Australia.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

They'll roll out the red carpet.

[Conceited]

I actually bought it. I didn't want to buy anything. I just did it because. Yeah, exactly. And then they were on my beef.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

But I mean, these stores, and it's so funny because a lot of these people are so ignorant. I mean, I remember, like, probably like 10 years ago, there was a big story about Oprah getting turned away in an Hermes. Oprah. Oh, wow.

[Conceited]

But that story was. It was cold, closed. And Oprah said, the fly ever. She was like. When she did an interview or whatever or got asked, what she said was because the store was closed. But what Oprah said was, she's like, I know the difference between closed and closed. To me, that's. That's the problem. I said, oh, yeah.

[Justina Valentine]

Opening the store for Oprah is diabolical. Like, if you see Oprah pull up, you open the store, like right now.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I will say from living in Ireland, like, I've never experienced any racial discrimination there. But baby, when I open my mouth and they hear this accent, wait, time.

[Conceited]

Out, time out, time out, time out. You live in Ireland right now?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

No, I just got back. I. I live in Ireland for, like, four months to shoot the show and then come back to America. And this is our second season. So this time I decided to live in Dublin, which is more of the city. And I noticed that at one time. This is so embarrassing, but I would tell y', all, I tried to scam y'. All. It was late, it was Halloween, and we weren't dressed up. And we kind of decided, like, you know what? Let's hit a club real quick before we go home. And there was a long ass line outside of this club, and it was pretty late. And I was like, nah, bump this. I don't wait in lines. It's bad for my self esteem. And so I had some Euro on me, and I tried to slide the bouncer like a hundred year old and be like, can we just come in for a second? Because the club was about to close. And I was like, we just want to come in for a second and dance. And he looked at me like I was straight crazy. And he was. Was like, the line's over there. And I was like. And like, in America, if I slide somebody some coin real quick, like, they just. Yeah, with a hundo. I'm like, bro, I know they not paying you that much to stand out here in the cold and regulate these drunk people. And I was like, oh. And it really humbled me because in America, that would work for me. And in America, I probably wouldn't even have to do that. But I was like, oh, it's this accent and this audacity. There is a of lot. And. And there are rules. And so, yes, I agree with Oprah of like, okay, it's Oprah. Like, open your store because you're about to make a bag. Like, just period. But I also kind of agree with, like, these are the rules, so just follow them. Like, why do you think money makes you above the rules? And that's such an American thing? We're like, oh, I got money. Like, these rules aren't for me. Like, I work.

[Conceited]

I mean, to be fair. To be fair in America. That is the way it is, though. So, I mean, I. You really can't blame an American for think that, because that is the way America is.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

But you can't blame Europeans for standing on business and being like, these are our rules.

[Conceited]

Yeah. They're like, yo, my. We don't care what the you got going on in America. That's not America. The rules here are this. So, you know, it goes hand. Hand in hand. I guess the first one to American Bl. My bad. In America, that's all we got to do. But, okay, get in line, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

But. But that accent. Whoo. Sometimes I think about changing it. I'm like, what other accents can I do? Because this one, I would do British. I have a good British accent. But the Irish and the British do not like each other. So because the British colonize Ireland, so that one would definitely not work. That would be worse than American. But let's glad you ain't do that. Yeah, right. But it was humbling. It was very humbling. It was a spiritual experience. I was like, okay, you know what? Maybe I will follow more rules. Rules. Not in America, though.

[Conceited]

But they knew who you were. The, like, scam goddess about that either.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Right? He touched the 100 bill. Some ink rubbed off on his hand. Don't touch it too hard. Don't touch it too hard. It's real, but don't touch it too hard. So next one here, we only got a couple more to go because we're running out of time, y'.

[Conceited]

All.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So scammer of the week, we're going to. To Chuck E. Cheese. So Chuck E. Cheese, as you can see here, is in handcuffs. Florida, which, of course, is Florida, because, of course, it's Florida.

[Justina Valentine]

Everything crazy happens in Florida.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

In Florida, they just be doing anything. And I hate that for us, but I love that for them. So a Florida Chuck e. Cheese was Mr. Charles E. Cheese. We're gonna use his government name. He was arrested for credit card fraud as kids and families watched Jermell. Jo knows. Jermell was booked for. We know. That's one of us. Conceded Jermell.

[Conceited]

Hey, hey, hey. I know. I know a white girl named Keisha, so.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay, but Jermell. I mean, Jermell is ours. He's ours. Let's just to be fair, Jermell Jones was booked for three felonies by the Tallahassee police department and removed from the restaurant while he was dressed as Chuck E. Cheese. A victim reported that her credit card was missing. After she had a pizza party at the restaurant. She noticed fraudulent smoke shop, a grocery store, and a water burger. She went to one of the stores and reviewed security footage, and she recognized a Chuck E. Cheese employee using her card. When the cops went to Chuck E. Cheese location in Tallahassee, the suspect was working the door, and they confirmed his identity. When they entered the store to make the arrest, he had changed into the mouse suit. Okay, that's smart.

[Justina Valentine]

Very smart.

[Conceited]

I was wondering how her. Hold on. If she noticed him and he was at the door, how the hell did he get into the costume? That is hilarious.

[Justina Valentine]

He's lucky they let him keep the mouse suit on while he was getting arrested. You can't see his face. Like, that's. I would have thought at least taking the head off.

[Conceited]

That's crazy.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I guess they didn't want to traumatize the kids any further, because when you're in the mascot, you're not supposed to take the head off. And that goes for, like, sports mascots, everything, but. So mascots, they have their mascot law, and I guess they really stick to it to the point where they. They go. Let you get arrest. Yeah. Can y' all imagine, like, Ellie the elephant from Liberty, the basketball team, wnba, like, getting arrested.

[Justina Valentine]

The kids that were there that day, they definitely. That's gonna be seared into their brain that Chuck E. Cheese got arrested. Like, that's crazy.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

It is.

[Conceited]

Crying, screaming, chucky, no, Chucky, no.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Free Chucky. Free my man Charles Cheese. They didn't have to do. They didn't have to do Charles like that.

[Conceited]

And I'm gonna assume they have more. More outfits, because if that was the only one, who the hell is gonna be Chucky?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yeah, that's true. Ooh, and they need that because I don't think they have the animatronic robots anymore. They had that when I was a kid.

[Conceited]

Those are crazy.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So he was cuffed and taken into a police car wearing his costume. How they gonna fit that big ass head into the police car?

[Conceited]

Another good one.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Like. Cause they gotta bend your head down when you just wear your normal head. Like, how they get in the whole. How they stuffing him.

[Conceited]

You know what? Like you said with the rules. They probably was like, yo, you know what? We're not gonna take his mask off until we get to the car. There's probably something like, they probably. Probably was like, yo, let's keep the kids sane.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

And as if that's the least traumatizing thing the kids have just experienced. Yeah, just like going to Walt Disney World and they arrest Mickey.

[Conceited]

That would be insane. That would be crazy.

[Justina Valentine]

Was not fitting in the car because, like, look at the cop's head next to his. I think they definitely had to take that off.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

They had to take that head off. There's no way. Like, hold on. So Jamel was charged with theft of a credit card, criminal use of personal identification information, and fraudulent use of credit over two times within six months. Now I will say Charles, Charles Cheese. If you're gonna steal a credit card from somebody, why are you just. You going to Whataburger? The grocery store and the smoke shop. That is a sign that's in a recession indicator because thieves aren't even out here balling out with your credit card. He went and got groceries with your credit card.

[Conceited]

That's hilarious.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

They're like, we.

[Conceited]

Or maybe he tried to get some wild with it and it just got declined. So he said, yo, it. Let me just see. Let me see if I go get some small joints with it.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Well, a lot of credit card thieves or people who will clone your credit card information, they start at Domino's. They start at like a pizza place or somewhere to see if the card is still on and make sure you haven't shut it off. And then they'll graduate up to, like, using it at a CVS for 2, 500 charges. Don't ask me how I know.

[Justina Valentine]

Yeah, that was, like, very exact Lacey descriptive, everybody. You just gave everybody the game real quick.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Oh, no, that ain't free game. We on you. We on you. This a setup, but I hope you take it. But no, that's literally what they'll do. But I also just think this is a recession indicator. Like, can you imagine if someone stole your credit card? And it's like, yeah, we caught them at the dentist office trying to get a crown. Like.

[Conceited]

Actually, my f. I'm. I'm like, damn right. All right. Let the nigga get the crown, man.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

They got two MRI charges on your card and blood work. Like, this is what people are stealing for now. It's not even a flex. It's not even to go to the club and buy a bottle. Like, people are stealing for groceries. Charles E. Cheese bought eggs with your card.

[Conceited]

Hold on. Eggs? Expensive.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

That's what I'm saying.

[Conceited]

You might have to steal a car to get some eggs.

[Justina Valentine]

Can we look at the kids in the background? Look at the badass kid in the. Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Can we zoom in on these children?

[Justina Valentine]

He's laughing.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

One's laughing. The one in the blue looks a little traumatized, though. And in the pink, the little girls are, like, holding their hands. They're like, not Charles. What?

[Conceited]

Why the cop? Why does a cop got. Got on the face? Like, he did this before? Like, man, this is the third Chucky. Third Chucky this week. Not even surprised.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Like, does he work in Florida? Like, damn, we got Goofy last week at Disney World. Now we gotta get Charles at ass.

[Justina Valentine]

That was probably, like, the, the chillest part of this cop's day, arresting Chuck.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Like, all right, come on, Charles. I also love that Jermel went from being the greeter, got clocked by the police, and was like, hold on one second. And then went back and change. Had time to change into the costume.

[Conceited]

Survival stills on a 100.

[Justina Valentine]

It was a good idea because it could. I mean, it could have worked, right?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

He's like, I'm not J. I'm Chucky. I don't even know what Chugga's voice sounds like. How do we feel about this scam? All right.

[Conceited]

Of course, I don't like the fact that he stole the lady's credit card. I, I, again, recession. I mean, I'm not mad at what he did it, what he got with it, because obviously he's Cooked, I mean. But I will say what I do like is the survival skills of him. Seeing the punch police. Yeah, we're looking for Jamal. Oh, let me get him for you. And he goes right into the Chucky suit and come out, hey, I don't know where this thing had man. And they got him. So it's not ethical, but smart moves for my man Charles EG's.

[Justina Valentine]

Yeah, I agree. I give him a for effort with, you know, the quick thinking and getting changed Chucky suit. But again, I think stealing from individuals and people, he might have stole from a lady who needed it more than him. So, you know, him getting his groceries might have meant that she went without. So, yeah, the only points Chucky gets is for. For being a side points. Yeah, he. His way in which he tried to get away with it was creative and it actually could have worked. But, yeah, what he did. Nah, Chucky, he can't get no points.

[Conceited]

For that side of quilt submissions.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

I'm leaning towards Chucky just because of the style points of just, you know, Jermel being like, hold on, let me go get him real quick. And then coming back is like, I haven't seen him. And then I also am leaning towards because he did steal a credit card. So credit card charges, like that woman is not gonna be affected by those charges because they will be protected because of fraud. So it's not like he stole her actual cash. You know, he didn't take her debit card, which is much harder to get your money back, even though it's protected by the fdic. He did take a credit card, so those fraud charges aren't gonna hit him. Her. And like, I mean, the smoke shop, I mean, some people need to smoke, and so that's a necessity. The groceries absolutely a necessity. And whataburger, you know, they open late.

[Conceited]

And 24 hours, I think over till.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

2Am that might have been his first stop. He didn't. This is how I'm saying it. He didn't have no groceries, and it was late when he got off from being Charles E. Cheese, and it was a cold night. And then he went to Waterboard Burger because it was the only thing open. But then the next day, instead of just buying more fast food, he went to the grocery store to stock up. And we don't know if Jermell got children. You know, he might have mouths to.

[Conceited]

Feed, a couple of mice out there.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Here.

[Justina Valentine]

You said you don't know if he had a mouse to feed or mouths.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Both work. We don't know if he had mouse to feed. We don't know if he had mouths to feed.

[Justina Valentine]

Here's the thing, though. When someone takes your card, so hopefully that, you know, because like you said, Lacy, with your bank, sometimes hard to take money out. You know, these banks are funny. Extra money sometimes. So hopefully she got all her money back. But it's still annoying because sometimes when that happens.

[Conceited]

It was a credit card, though. It was a credit card, but she's.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Talking about a bank.

[Justina Valentine]

But yeah, sometimes they'll make you cancel that card. Now, whatever was connected to it, that automatically pays every month, whether it's your insurance or whatever it is. Now you have to reconnect everything. And it's just a drag, is.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

It is. And if you miss something and it lapses, then something got cut off, then you got to reinstate it, Then you got to do all this, that and the third. And with a credit card, you know, it's like, okay, well, we'll mark it as fraud. Sometimes they'll let you keep the card. A lot of times they'll send you a new one. But, I mean, in this case, I don't encourage this behavior. Absolutely. Please do not rob moms at Chuck E. Cheese trying to give their baby a nice little pizza party. But you know what he did with it? Not too crazy. He didn't go too crazy with it. So, you know, Charles, he didn't have a chance.

[Justina Valentine]

They caught him. Wait till day three, and then you.

[Conceited]

Got some eggs, a burger, and it was over.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Also, Jermell, AKA Charles Cheese. Why are you stealing from your place of employment? Like, the first place they're gonna look is your place of employment.

[Conceited]

Granted, I. I may or may not know a lot of friends or not friends who have done that as well. So I guess that's the easiest. I guess when you deal with customers that are paying with. It's the easiest way. I mean, you're touching credit cards and debit cards every single day. So where else. Where else are you going to steal it from?

[Justina Valentine]

That's one of the main places people steal from is their place of employment.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yeah. That's where they fall in love. You spend a lot of time there.

[Conceited]

I didn't stole a million while and out shirts for you from. Said I wasn't supposed to.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Sorry, I'm leaving with something.

[Justina Valentine]

Yeah, but especially if you work in the service industry and you work in cash, it's very easy to steal. I wouldn't know. But it's very easy to steal when you're getting paid. Paid in cash, or you just. You Know, So, yeah, you don't bring everything up or whatever the case may be.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So, yeah, and I mean, but the thing is, is if people were being paid a living wage, they would covet their job. Like the jobs that I have. I don't want to lose my job. So I'm not stealing from my job because I don't want to lose my job. But if my job is a dime a dozen and they're paying me shit, then it's like, why would I covet this job? I can go get another job just like this as soon as I get out the clink, like, what do you mean? I make bail. I got another job just like this one that pays the same. So it's understandable. Also, like, there's a. I did a scam on a drive through once where they were stealing cards like this from people at the drive through. But what they would do was, is they would get a card, and if it looks like a card that they had already kind of maxed out before it got canceled, they would give back the customer a card that looked just like theirs. So let's say you have a red bank of America debit card. If you pay with that, they would take your red bank of America debit card, give you somebody else's. That's, like, defunct now. And then you drive along your way. So, guys, if you're handing your cards out at the, you know, fast food place or anywhere like that, when you get your card back, make sure you look at it and it has your name on it, because you'd be surprised. Like, you're in a rush. You're in a drive through. It happens. That's how they get people, too. And we're going to wrap this episode up with an impersonator. One imposter on here before we get out the doors. So we're going to an impersonator here. A man impersonating the one and only Justin Bieber tricked an entire Las Vegas nightclub into thinking that he was actually Biebs. And, like, we have a video here of Justin performing. See if we can zoom in on that. Okay. The body looks the same. I don't know if I've ever seen Justin do that dance, but it's entertaining.

[Conceited]

I mean, besides the people behind him, like, people that work there, the DJ have to know that it's not just Justin Bieber.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay. I think this hearkens back. This is kind of like a perfect full circle to, like, face tune and, like, seeing a celebrity in real life and them not looking, like, what they do on the Internet. And I think that maybe has happened enough to these type of club people, especially if they're constantly seeing celebrities. And he's got sunglasses, he got the whole fit on. It's dark in there. I'm sure a lot of people are on a bean or on something, you know what I mean? And like your last. Like this is also one of those things of you would never believe this happened to you. So why would anybody be looking? Like, let's make sure he's the real Justin Bieber. Like, why would you?

[Justina Valentine]

My thing is I. Even if you couldn't tell by the way he looked, I don't know, you know, it's kind of. The image is kind of far out. I see his glasses on and it's kind of fun. So I can't tell, but. But like there's no way he sounded like. Like there's no way that the beaver, the fake Bieber sounded like Justin. It's just no way. Because I mean, if you're a. A fan of a recording artist, you know, if you go to a Beyonce concert and that person gets on the mic, you're gonna know in a second it's not Beyonce. Same with Justin or like any of these really big artists. So I'm just like, y' all couldn't tell by him singing.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yeah, but Beyonce's mic is all is on always.

[Justina Valentine]

But I'm pretty sure Justin.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Justin's mike is usually on.

[Justina Valentine]

Yeah, Mike is on.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

But at a Vegas nightclub. I feel like this is like at his concert. It's Justin's like is on. He has a beautiful voice. But I feel like at a Vegas nightclub where they're trying to get that sonic sound and everybody's turning up.

[Justina Valentine]

Maybe just the joint was playing and he's singing over it.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yes. It's giving like a baddies concert, like where they go to the club and they like hold a microphone while their music plays.

[Justina Valentine]

It's like a walkthrough. You're just singing right along to the track.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Even still.

[Justina Valentine]

But like you said, what part of the night was it? Maybe they were super lit. But it also looks very bright in there. Like I would say that looks like.

[Conceited]

A day party right there.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

That one.

[Conceited]

One of the day parties in Vegas.

[Justina Valentine]

I can see if it was like dark and it's like 3:00am but yeah, like, like you said, that looks like they're outside.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

It looks like bright fluorescent lighting to me though. That doesn't look like the sun. No, I know. It's hard to tell from these TikTok videos, they're kind of like far away, but it doesn't look like the sun.

[Justina Valentine]

So did he get paid?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Well, so it's a well known lookalike. We have to put that in here too. So he did. His name is Dylan Del Close and he got on stage at the XS nightclub inside the Wynn Encore. So this is inside inside. And you know, inside inside Vegas casinos. There's no windows, there's no way to tell time. They pump in fresh air to keep you awake because fresh air, like purified air, keeps you awake longer than regular air that we breathe every day. There's no clocks because they don't want you to know what time it is. They want you to spend all your time in there and they want all your money. Yeah, so he. They're inside, so that's helping. Also, he's a lookalike, so that's helping. And he's got sunglasses on. After fooling the night's headliner, DJ Griffin, into thinking that he was the real Justin, Dylan pulled it off with the help of a full team. Posing as his entourage and security, they leaned into Bieber's recent management shuffle, claiming to be the new new team. So this is also like a perfect time to do this cuz like they're like, where's Scooter? Where everybody else? And he was like, no, we got a new team, we got a new team, so don't even worry about that. And so DJ Griffin said in an Instagram video that he was alerted to the fact that Bieber was in the venue and wanted to perform. Sorry. It wouldn't be impossible for Justin to appear out of nowhere and come on stage. He's still promoting the album Swag right at the time. So Griffin let him on. He found out later that the individual who had taken the stage was not Bieber, but the faker had already run up a $10,000 tab in bottle service that he walk walked out on. So he didn't get paid for the appearance. It wasn't a booking. He said, I'm Bieber, let me on stage, I'mma do, sorry, turn the crowd up. And then walked out on $10,000 of worth of bottle service. Wow.

[Justina Valentine]

I'm not gonna lie. The club is. Or whoever was in charge that night is just a little not with it. Because Jay Bieber is not walking into your club and performing for free. It's not.

[Conceited]

Yeah, so, and, and spending. If, if he's spending, he's not gonna get on the mic at all.

[Justina Valentine]

No, like, that's not Happening.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

So also I'm gonna say that like $10,000 for an entourage in Vegas at a, at a table is. And I know it's not, it's not crazy. I know that's gonna blow yalls minds out there. I'm so sorry, but it's not crazy. I've seen way, way more with way less people when we was in the section and I, I just, I'm nosy. I happened to like cop a peep at the, at the bill and was like, oh, okay.

[Justina Valentine]

But like, Casey hear if they thought he was there performing, they gotta give him bottles in a section and all that anyway.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Like, exactly.

[Justina Valentine]

That goes along with it so well, that.

[Conceited]

What that. But that'll be. If he was booked. If he just walked in and was like, yo, I'm here, I want to buy a table, then just say, hey, yo, tell them let me perform. Sorry. Then it probably was something like that.

[Justina Valentine]

I mean, that's true.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

But.

[Justina Valentine]

But regardless, thinking Justin Bieber wants to jump on the stage for free is.

[Conceited]

Come on.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yeah, they should have been thinking a little harder. But I mean, at the same time, like, he looks like the guy. They're pressed and I'm sure lit by this time. So, you know, mistakes happen. It's just a French guy who impersonates Bieber for a living. We got videos of him on the Paris subway that went viral because like, and Haley Bieber responded to it. And I mean, in his defense, he did say sorry when he performed on stage. And like, how do you feel about this one? Because I have thoughts, but I'll go last.

[Conceited]

I'm rocking with. With the fake Bieber.

[Justina Valentine]

Yeah.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

If he put on a show for.

[Justina Valentine]

Them and the audience thought that they got Justin Bieber, I think it's a win for the nightclub. So I think the little 10,000 that they had to eat is nothing compared to people having that experience and saying, oh, we saw Justin Bieber Bieber here last night. Let's go here again.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Also, you heard it right, Justina Bber, because he's French.

[Conceited]

It's not even a real 10,000 loss of them. Bottles for them cost $30.

[Justina Valentine]

Exactly. Now con, don't forget you've also done something similar. You pretended to be Lil Bow Wow and you've gone up on the stage and was singing basketball.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Right? I mean, you singing OG Bow Wow.

[Conceited]

I have too much tattoos to be Bow Wow, man.

[Justina Valentine]

You've done it. That was. That was right before. That was right before you were really cooking on Wild N Out. So it was.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

That's Beautiful. Honestly, if anything, I mean, if I.

[Conceited]

Told mom, Tariq from Power, maybe. Maybe I'll said that a couple times to get somewhere.

[Justina Valentine]

Tariq got no joints to do.

[Conceited]

No, not to perform.

[Justina Valentine]

Just, you know, just.

[Conceited]

Just see how much Clouder to get. Hey, Conceded. Hey, Tariq from Power.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

All right.

[Conceited]

Yeah, let him in. All right. Yeah, what's up?

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

And not even his name, just Tariq from Power Bucket. You gotta know who your doppelgangers are. I'm with it. I'm with this one. And honestly, I think that Win fucked up the bag by even telling us that the Justin Bieber was fake. Like, why even tell us that? Let everybody believe they saw Justin Bieber. They had a great time. They're gonna come back to win because it's lit. Like, why would you even disclose your error like that?

[Justina Valentine]

They should have just taken the cost.

[Conceited]

Yeah.

[Justina Valentine]

And let people think that they were that lit.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Sometimes you get bested, sometimes you lose. You just gotta hold that l close, and that's okay. Yes. Well, that brings us to the end of a very fun episode. Y' all are wild as fuck, so I know people are going to enjoy. We always ask on the show, where would you like to be found? Anything you want to plug, Insta socials, whatever.

We had so much fun with you, and you taught us so much about how to skim.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Okay. I was preventative, though. Justina was like, you taught us how to be criminals real good.

[Justina Valentine]

I mean, we know so much now.

[Conceited]

We know just Justina.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

We. We.

[Conceited]

We could give somebody back a duplicate card.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Oh, my. No. All right.

[Conceited]

We know if it's a credit card, it's Gucci. And it's not the debit card, so that's easier. That's, that's, that's a little more ethical now, Colin.

[Justina Valentine]

We know if they pull up too wild and out, we've been accused of something. We're going to get the Nick. We're going to get the Nick mascot and jump into that costume. We're going to punch the mascot change into his stuff. Yes.

[Conceited]

Oh, yeah.

[Lacey Mosley (Scam Goddess)]

Yes. Yes. And be like, we have never seen that person. We don't know where they are. Yes.

[Justina Valentine]

No one would ever look for us under the Knick mascot. So we could also. We'll keep that in our back pocket just in case.
