Lacy Mosley
Latte, get festive with an iced gingerbread chai, or share a velvety peppermint mocha. Together is the best place to be at Starbucks. Don't you hate when you have something important coming up or you just need to look good, but your hair is not cooperating and you don't have a lot of time? That's why I love Batiste. They're the number one dry shampoo brand in the US and the world. And I never thought that dry shampoo was for my hair texture, but when I tell you if it gets a little oily and I put in some Batiste, my hair looks full and fluffy again, and I can scam my way into not having to do my hair that day. With Batiste, you can instantly refresh your hair, and it absorbs all that oil and that grease. Okay. So your hair feels more clean and it has added volume and texture. It's great on your hair and easy on your wallet. Buy Batiste Dry Shampoo online or in store at your nearest retailer. What's Poppin, Congregation? It's your girl, Lacey Mosley, AKA Scam Goddess.

- [02:15]
Tracy Morrissey
That was a very, very, very warm intro. Thank you so much.
- [02:19]
Lacy Mosley
It's all true. I'm so happy. I love your haircut, too. You look at cute with this little background. Thank you.
- [02:24]
Tracy Morrissey
I Got my lashes done.
- [02:26]
Lacy Mosley
Oh, yes, we love a baddie on the pod.
- [02:28]
Tracy Morrissey
The.
- [02:28]
Lacy Mosley
The listener's like, wow, you just get such good looking guests. I'm like, it is not by accident. I'm like, we're all the hottest entertainers, and I do mean hot. So, Tracy, do you have any relationship with scams? Have you ever been scammed? Do you like them? Do you hate them? Like, where do you lie on the spectrum?
- [02:47]
Tracy Morrissey
I'm, like, obsessed with scams. I love scams. I like, as. I'm like a scam fan. Like, I'm interested in them, but I also am like, I don't ever want to be a victim of a scam. So I'm like, super have my, you know, antenna up all the time. I'm like, you know, I love messing with robocallers, like, who are trying to, like, you know, get my Social Security number or, you know, tell me that my Apple ID has been compromised, any of that stuff. I have a lot of fun with them. But, you know, I was trying to think if I've done scams before and before, you know, before coming on. I know that you talk about scams up top, if anyone's been a scammer, but, like, I don't. I don't know if I do. I definitely nothing like, illegal. Like, my scams are, like, cutting lines. Like, I'm getting on an on ramp and there's like a long line of cars. I'll go right up to, like, the front and like, cut people off there. So, like, definitely like asshole stuff, but like, not like criminal stuff.
- [03:50]
Lacy Mosley
Okay, well, I'm gonna say that you are not an asshole for doing that. That is actually how traffic is supposed to work. I got cussed out like, last week at an intersection because I did that where it was like a long line of people trying to bottleneck because the one road lane was gonna end. And I just drove up the lane that was ending up to the top and then got in where I fit in. And this truck was so mad, they were honking and trying to get my attention. I had my windows down, so I just had to kind of like play like, I couldn't hear and just stare strai. But that's. If you go. If you go to driving school, that's what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to merge at the last second so that you can keep the flow of traffic going. That's the rule.
- [04:29]
Tracy Morrissey
Exactly. Yeah. I mean, I feel like only suckers wait in the line.
- [04:32]
Lacy Mosley
Mm. Listen, I'm. I'm all about that. I skip all the lines. I've skipped so many lines. I remember once there was a really. There was a screening for a Barry Jenkins movie. Oh, is that Judy? Is that your dog?
- [04:44]
Tracy Morrissey
This is Judy, Yes.
- [04:45]
Lacy Mosley
I'm such a creep. I went on your Instagram. I was like, yes, I saw the little sweater you made for her. I was like, okay. Seems tricks.
- [04:52]
Tracy Morrissey
Oh, yeah, I love knitting.
- [04:54]
Lacy Mosley
Tracy's like, this woman is a stalker. Like, she knows my dog's name.
- [05:00]
Tracy Morrissey
I have no right calling anyone a stalker. The amount of research I do on people, right?
- [05:06]
Lacy Mosley
I mean, it's. I think we have to get to the point in the Internet age where we just say, like, yeah, I saw you were there on Instagram. Like, I don't. Why do I have to pretend I don't know anything about people anymore? Like, you put it on the gram. I saw it. Yeah.
- [05:18]
Tracy Morrissey
Actually, it's like, it would be almost, like, insulting if, like, you know, it's like, not that I expect people to, like, go and look at my stuff, but, like, I'm not at all. I weirded out. Like, I'm. I have a public Instagram. If someone sees stuff about my life, it's like, because I put. I put it out there.
- [05:34]
Lacy Mosley
I put it there, right? But so many people. I've had so many people be like, oh. Oh, you. Oh, you stalked me. And it's like, girl, you put it on. On. On Beyonce's Internet for free for everybody. What you mean?
- [05:47]
Tracy Morrissey
I read people's, like, grandparents, obituaries and stuff like that.
- [05:50]
Lacy Mosley
Like, I. I do that too.
- [05:52]
Tracy Morrissey
I go deep. I mean, if I'm dating someone or if someone pisses me off or something like that, Like, I'm like, what do I need to know about this person?
- [06:00]
Lacy Mosley
I'm gonna need you to get that. Oh, yeah, you get that research up front. I like that. But before we get into what's hot and fried, I will finish my other cut and in line. Have you ever, like, cut in line and, like, almost got caught? Like. Or someone says something like, oh.
- [06:12]
Tracy Morrissey
I mean, I. People are screaming at me from their cars constantly. Or, you know, pedestrians are yelling at me. I'm not.
- [06:19]
Lacy Mosley
Like, it's just white noise for you now?
- [06:21]
Tracy Morrissey
Yeah, I'm in a aggressive driver. You know, it's just like, you have to be in New York. No, I. There's. I've been. All right, so, like, when Covid. When the lockdown started, they started this, like, new procedure at Whole Foods where you go in to the parking garage, and then you Know, you. You come up into the store. This is how it is in Brooklyn. And usually you just walk through the store up at the top to go down in the basement where, like, all the grocery shopping is. And that's what I was trying to do. And I saw that there's, like, they were forcing people to leave immediately and line outside. And I looked at the line outside. I was like, get the hell out of here. I'm not waiting in that line. So I would just wear headphones. And for a while, this worked for several months, but then they finally were like, ma' am, and, like, chase me down.
- [07:07]
Lacy Mosley
You have to go outside.
- [07:09]
Tracy Morrissey
Like, oh, I didn't know. I had no idea. I'm so sorry. So that was like, the. You know, you got to ride it until, you know, you can't fall off.
- [07:16]
Lacy Mosley
I love that for you. I love this. Because we all know we work for any larger company. Like, you don't really give that many. Like, what, are they gonna chase you around the store? They're like, well, we told her, all right. She went inside. And then finally, you got. You probably got a hater who was on the job and was like, no, I'm not gonna take this. She will go out into the line.
- [07:35]
Tracy Morrissey
Yeah. I think it probably was, like, at a point where people were being, like, such jerks about, like, wearing masks and whatever, you know, like, just. And people who are working in grocery stores were, like, really, like, frontline workers all of a sudden. Yeah. And they just, like, had it with people like me.
- [07:51]
Lacy Mosley
That was the biggest scam of the pandemic, is calling people who work in grocery stores essential workers, but then not paying them, like, they're essential. You're saying that their lives crazy. Are put on the line. Right. You said essential. Right. And then what did this pay? Not looking essential. This pay is looking very replaceable.
- [08:08]
Tracy Morrissey
They don't even have health insurance. It's, like, one thing. Like, you know, you're a doctor, you're a nurse. You have. You have health insurance. You know, you're. You're a cop, you get health insurance and any kind of, like, first respond. But then all of a sudden, these, like, grocery workers and delivery people are, like, our total connection to the outside world and keeping us, you know, fed and whatever. And they have, like, you know, they're. They're at total risk of COVID And then not having, like, the protection of, like, you know, if they get sick, they're like. Their medical bills would be, like, astronomical, so.
- [08:39]
Lacy Mosley
Right. It's.
- [08:40]
Tracy Morrissey
It's so messed up. It's so messed up.
- [08:42]
Lacy Mosley
It's a scam. And honestly, I hope grocery workers. I hope y' all took, like, six loaves of bread home every night. I hope y' all took all the toilet paper I hope was robbing Trader Joe's Whole Foods. Taking all the foods holy home. Okay? Because they played. They played, y', all, and that wasn't right. So shout out to y', all, but let's get into it. What's hot and fraud. This is where we warn our listeners about popping scams in the street. Or more often than not, we get a listener letter from you guys where you snitch on your friends and family. As always, if you want to snitch on your friends and family, just make sure the scams retired. We don't want to up your bag. That scam got his pot at gmail dot com. So, Tracy, give me a fake name for this person. We don't care about gender on this show.
- [09:21]
Tracy Morrissey
Oh, okay. Jerry.
- [09:23]
Lacy Mosley
Jerry. Okay. So Jerry says, oh, some nice things. This is a combo because we're getting a listener letter, but they're also giving us some tips. And I saw you had a dog, Tracy, So I was like, okay, you're gonna understand what's popping here. So apparently, something people need to be aware of is how common dog scams are. Now, my wife and I live in Ontario, and we have been trying to get a dog for over a year. We've almost fallen for dog scams. A few, and they're getting pretty good at spotting them. Ever since the pandemic started, people have been adopting pets right and left in Canada, where dogs are already pretty scarce because it's too cold for a lot of strays up here. This has caused the dog demand to skyrocket. So I guess the US Border being closed, they were like, well, now we can't get dogs, you know, like we used to, from the U.S. okay.
- [10:09]
Tracy Morrissey
I did not realize that. That dogs are imported in Canada.
- [10:14]
Lacy Mosley
I didn't know that either. Like, you thought you were getting some Colombian. Colombian cocaine. You were getting a rottweiler. Like, we didn't know. So one of the websites is like, you can go on Craigslist. Or I guess in Canada, they have something called kiji, and puppies cost thousands of dollars. I've even seen dogs go for as high as $5,000. Wow. Yeah. For a dog. Like, look, I love dogs as much as the next dog lover, but 5,000? And that's before shots. That's before food.
- [10:45]
Tracy Morrissey
I know it's an expensive dog. The Dogs that cost that much need like extra care too, because they're usually like purebred and then they have like, their teeth are messed up and then they have like, I. They always need operations that you're better off getting a mix.
- [11:00]
Lacy Mosley
I've heard that, that they get a little sickly because of all the inbreeding and stuff. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry. If you're a five thousand dollar dog, you better be. Lassie, you better be out here telling me when Timmy fell in the. Well, you gotta at least do some light labor. Like 5,000. You gonna be in commercials immediately. I hope you like Alpo, because you're gonna be shooting every week. Like, what? No, you gotta be employed. So, of course, a lot of folks were trying to get in on the dog craze. And one big scam is that importers would use a rescue, like rescuing dogs from other countries when really they were getting dogs from puppy mills in the Ukraine. Oh, oh. So some of them are tricking people and getting the dogs, you know, from the puppy mills. Another popular scam is some people are posting ads for puppies and then taking deposits for the puppy, only to pocket hundreds of dollars from different people before disappearing. Yeah, we bought your dog. Did they, did you do a deposit?
- [12:00]
Tracy Morrissey
I did have to do a deposit. I had to do. I think it was only like a hundred dollars. And then I had to bring cash because they were Amish. I didn't realize that they were Amish because I bought it. I signed up on the comp. Like, I was like, I didn't know that the Amish use computers. I absolutely would not have bought a dog from an Amish person because they run puppy mills. I didn't realize that it. The person was Amish until I got to their house because they were like texting with me and stuff. I didn't know that they could use that technology. And then I show up and it was a total nightmare. It was like he was like abusive to his baby. Like, because when I first pulled in, I was like, their car's not here. They're not home. And then I was like, oh, oh.
- [12:41]
Lacy Mosley
They have a buggy.
- [12:42]
Tracy Morrissey
Oh, it's their Amish. Oh my God. But, you know, I do kind of feel like I rescued her because I took her out of the situation. But, like, I was. I was really upset. I actually kind of got scammed into buying a dog from an Amish person when I would never would have wanted to do that.
- [13:01]
Lacy Mosley
Now see, I don't know if I'm not going to Say all Amish people are running, you know, shady operations because they do show up for causes and stuff like that. But this man is obviously ish. If he. The cell phone and the computer, like.
- [13:16]
Tracy Morrissey
How are you exactly? Well, I asked him about that when I got there. I was like, so you can use computers and things? And, like, you know, I went into his, like, shed, which was his office, and he had computers, and he had a. His other side hustle was that he sold socks. Like, he imported socks and then sold socks to Amish people because they were all dark socks. They were, like, all black and brown. So I was like. And he's like, yeah, we were allowed to do this for business. So I guess there's, like, certain hours and only certain uses that they're allowed to do that. So I don't know.
- [13:46]
Lacy Mosley
Fascinating. Well, you know, Tracy, I think you just brought representation. Amish people can be scammers, too, and shout out to that one man for being a scammer. You know, I don't like that he was abusing the baby and the dog. Now, that's not good. He's not. That guy. Wasn't that guy. But at least you saved the dog. So. Okay. Apparently there's a lot of designer dogs. Like, people are getting scammed by getting these kind of, like, small, Never shed, hyperallergenic dogs. But the problem is that's not how genetics work. So anyone who's, like, 100% guaranteeing that this dog won't shed, it's hyperallergenic. It's pure. Like, they're probably lying. And then the last scam that they talk about here is they said, I have a friend. Let's call her Marcy, who was getting frustrated looking for a dog. After months, she couldn't find any dogs, you know, that were working out for her. I'm gonna skip a little bit of this is a little lot of words. She broke down and decided to buy a mini Aussie doodle. Shout out to Judith, our super producer. She said that it's a mixture. Aussie doodle is a mixture of an Australian shepherd dog and a poodle. And I love the cute names they come up with. Aussie doodle. That sounds good. I want one. So it sounded real at first, but there were some red flags. Okay, guys, just another update on red flags. There's no such thing as flag. It's one flag. When you see a flag, you leave. It's not plural. Okay?
- [15:07]
Tracy Morrissey
People, like, will experience, like, a color guard of flags, and then they'll be like, I don't know. I didn't realize.
- [15:14]
Lacy Mosley
I'm like, bro, you at the Grand Prix, like that. We've seen so many flags. Okay, like, come on now. So I just want to say, guys, red flags is just one. When you see the one, just trust that you've been alive long enough that you know what's on the other side. And if you're young listening to this podcast, you don't have to buy all the wisdom. Okay? Like, why buy wisdom that's already paid for? I'm telling you, one red flag. Leave. It's too many people on the planet. Let it go.
- [15:37]
Tracy Morrissey
That's great advice.
- [15:38]
Lacy Mosley
So there were some red flags, plural. So first. And this is always how desperate you are. Obviously, this woman's been looking for a dog for a long time. It hasn't been working out. Her desperation is high. She's parched. She's thirsty. It's arid.
- [15:54]
Tracy Morrissey
Got it.
- [15:56]
Lacy Mosley
So first, the breeder never let her see home. Like, the home of, like, where the dogs were. She never saw where the dogs were bred or the puppies in person before the sale. She also took deposits before the friend could see the puppies. She also had to do a sketchy money exchange to pick up the puppy on the side of a highway. Not the highway. Y' all couldn't go to ExxonMobile or Wendy's at the highway. I feel like people selling puppies outside of ihop, not cars whizzing by. That's really up in the stakes.
- [16:31]
Tracy Morrissey
That's dangerous.
- [16:32]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah, right. For the. What, did the puppy jump out of somebody's hands?
- [16:37]
Tracy Morrissey
They don't know what they're doing so bad.
- [16:39]
Lacy Mosley
So it says, my friend ignored all of this because she wanted the dog so badly. And she kept telling herself that maybe the weirdness was just because of the pandemic. Sure enough, when she took the puppy to the vet, she found out the dog was definitely not a mini also duo, and was likely to grow big and would shed. And the breeder blocked all her calls and disappeared, running off with thousands and thousands of dollars of my friend's money. Wow. Yeah, guys, that does.
- [17:05]
Tracy Morrissey
And they're in Canada or. No, that's just. There's just another dog scam.
- [17:09]
Lacy Mosley
This one has to probably be in Canada because the person. Jerry. Jerry originally was from Canada. So Jerry was talking about a lot of different dog scams in general, which I was like. Like, these are good to update you guys on. But also, I think the friend was in Canada. See, that's the hard thing. I really want a dog, but I want like a shih Tzu that's like, basically a cat like my parents have. But my dog's already spayed at home and, like, my parents won't let me steal her, so I have to, like, find a chill puppy that's, like, okay with, like, me working a lot and.
- [17:39]
Tracy Morrissey
Like, hates dogs are okay with you working a lot. I mean, because you're working from home, right? They'll just sit on your feet most part. Yeah, they love that. I feel like dogs have loved Covid because all their owners are with them all the time. Right?
- [17:53]
Lacy Mosley
I feel like it's the opposite for cats. Like, but you still here. Ow. Do you have food or what? Bitch? What is it? I saw funny Instagram. I can't remember the TikTok, but it was, like, about cats versus dogs seeing you and, like, dogs coming home. Like, hey, what you do? How's your day? The cat was like, you again. All right.
- [18:18]
Tracy Morrissey
You're bad.
- [18:18]
Lacy Mosley
I thought you died. Okay, you bring food. So, yes, Scout, the holidays are back at Starbucks.

This is where we will regale Tracy with an interesting con or caper or charlatan and we'll just get her Opinions throughout. And guys, I want you to know like Tracy was like I was trying to get Tracee so bad. She was booked and busy. She was unavailable for the Hilaria Baldwin episode because this woman did the Lord's work on Instagram. I've never seen an Instagram dive so amazing. It was so good. So I tried to bring you some mess, some tea. You know, that's also pretty fun for us to get into today.
- [20:20]
Tracy Morrissey
I'm excited.
- [20:21]
Lacy Mosley
Yes. So today and guys, y' all tagged me up and down. You emailed me, you texted me, called like God damn about this scam and I got you. So we're talking today about a Japanese man who was arrested for scamming his 35 girlfriends.
- [20:38]
Tracy Morrissey
Which.
- [20:38]
Lacy Mosley
Yes, 35. Have you heard about this?
- [20:39]
Tracy Morrissey
Wow. No, I have not.
- [20:41]
Lacy Mosley
So Takashi Miyagawa was recently arrested in Osaka, Japan for defrauding at least 35 women, all of whom were manipulated into believing that they were each in a serious and monogamous relationship with him. How many of the time. Wow. That's what I'm saying. Like this, this man. Let's just talk about time management because he's a king.
- [21:03]
Tracy Morrissey
Yeah, that's not even one. I mean that's. You can't even do a whole day with someone because it's 35. Not enough time in the, in the month.
- [21:12]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah, you gotta plan some fake vacations for some of them. You definitely gotta have an Excel spreadsheet. Like, like you gotta put facts down about em. Like this one's mom's name is. This last name is that we met here. Like I would need a whole journal diary assistant. Yeah, 35 people. That's a lot. That's a lot. So tekashi is a 39 year old part time. Well, I'm sure you are part time because you can't be full time with 35 girlfriends with no fixed address. So he's a part time worker. He's 39 years old and does not have a fixed address.
- [21:49]
Tracy Morrissey
Transient sound.
- [21:50]
Lacy Mosley
Transient. Sounds scammy to me. I love that wherever he is, there he is. And that's where he lives. And I love it. I love this for him. So Tekashi worked for a multi level marketing company. Wow. He a scammer all around.
- [22:08]
Tracy Morrissey
Of course, of course.
- [22:10]
Lacy Mosley
I'm proud of him already. So he's mostly sold hydrogen water, shower heads and other equipment at a company showroom in Kansai, like which is like a region in southern Japan. Kansai probably. So usually he met his victims at the store. He specially targeted older Single women that appeared vulnerable to him and told them that he wanted to get married. Wow.
- [22:35]
Tracy Morrissey
Geez.
- [22:36]
Lacy Mosley
So you come in here, you just think you're getting a hydro shower head from a scammy company and here's Tekashi in the corner trying to sell you his dick in marriage. Wow. So not only did he manage to attain multiple birthday presents from the unsuspecting women, he also sold them a number of shower heads while maintaining personal profit. So wow. He was getting them from both sides. He was like, oh sis, you so sexy, let me get your number. Also, body showers.
- [23:07]
Tracy Morrissey
Shower heads was the mlm. So was he trying to recruit them to be like his downstream or downline, whatever it's called?
- [23:13]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's the downline. Because there's like the upline and then the. Yeah, I'm not exactly sure because in this multi level marketing scheme, it seems as if he's on a showroom selling these shower heads. I don't understand how. Unless he was trying to rope them into selling showerheads with him. Because it's not like a shower head is like, you know, face cream or something where you start buying one thing and then, you know. Or like Herbalife where you buy one. Yeah, you buy one shake, you buy more shakes.
- [23:38]
Tracy Morrissey
Usually set. When you have one shower head, you're fine.
- [23:41]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah, I don't see myself going through many shower heads a year. I guess it depends on what you're doing with them, ladies. Yeah, exactly. Just thinking that you are riding them like Django, then maybe, maybe, maybe you do need a new shower head every few weeks. But that's an interesting question. Let's see if we get to the bottom of that. But all the while, his gals, apparently blinded by love, were completely oblivious to each other's existence. Cuz he would meet them selling the shower heads, flirt it up, then start a romantic relationship with each one under the assumption that marriage was in the cards. Wow. And I mean like if you're an older woman.
- [24:21]
Tracy Morrissey
Was there a ring? Were there rings?
- [24:24]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah, see that's, that's interesting because I think what he's saying is like, I am looking to get married. Which I'm sure as a woman of, you know, a certain age.
- [24:33]
Tracy Morrissey
Certain age.
- [24:34]
Lacy Mosley
You deal with a lot of men. Not either. If a man is above a certain age and they're single, they're usually like toxic. Unless they're just fresh off of divorce.
- [24:43]
Tracy Morrissey
Exactly. Like, why aren't you taken?
- [24:45]
Lacy Mosley
Like, baby, what's wrong with you? But you could be lots of single women who are above a certain age. And then you'd be like, oh, that is just rich. Like, wow, okay. Exactly, exactly.
- [24:57]
Tracy Morrissey
She's like, she's very well educated and is self sufficient.
- [25:02]
Lacy Mosley
She owns several businesses. That's why she's alone. No one wants to love a woman with businesses. How dare you. Your home is in your own name. Just you. Oh, get out of here, you filthy winch. Sunshine Light. Right? So you know, she's probably on her divorce of whatever trash ass man she married when she was younger. So an intentional man I'm sure is very appealing. Like that would be appealing to me now.
- [25:28]
Tracy Morrissey
Yeah.
- [25:28]
Lacy Mosley
I'm like, oh, you're looking for love. Totally.
- [25:32]
Tracy Morrissey
I don't think I've met a man ever that was like, I'm open to marriage. I don't know if I've ever met someone that's like, even I've been married.
- [25:42]
Lacy Mosley
I don't think he's. No, not that I've been married. He say that. Listen, we have been conditioned, we have all been scammed by rom coms and everywhere else to think that men need to be tricked and hit over the head to get married. Like, yeah, like it's always the toxic bachelor who was like, hey, you and me, we're friends. Let's start fucking when it's like, no, we've been in love for 10 years, bitch. Marry me. And then by the end, you know, he get a concussion and then somehow he get married.
- [26:11]
Tracy Morrissey
What?
- [26:14]
Lacy Mosley
So he's playing a smart game here. I feel so bad. He told each of the girlfriends that his birthday fell on a different date so he could receive oodles of gifts. Not ood. I haven't heard oodles as a quantifying term in so long. Oodles of gifts. Okay, so according to a Japanese news outlet, MBS News, Tekashi told one 47. 47 year old girlfriend that his birthday was on February 22, but said to another 40 year old woman that his birthday was in July. Another 35 year old woman thought Tekashi's birthday was in April. His actual birthday is November 13, according to reports. A Scorpio. You shouldn't have known. We should have known.
- [26:59]
Tracy Morrissey
Wow.
- [27:00]
Lacy Mosley
We know how y' all do. Yeah. Scorpios. I'm dragging y'. All. Last week I was dragging what? Morning, listeners. Everyone will get dragged. Scorpios. Y' all know y' all bad people. Come on, don't play. One of my best friends is Scorpio. So I love y'.
- [27:15]
Tracy Morrissey
All. No, that's Gemini's Right.
- [27:17]
Lacy Mosley
Listen, my daddy's a Gemini, you know? Is he evil?
- [27:21]
Tracy Morrissey
Duality?
- [27:21]
Lacy Mosley
I don't know. I don't see that half. I only see nice daddy face. So could he be committing murders? I don't know, you know.
- [27:33]
Tracy Morrissey
What's your sign?
- [27:34]
Lacy Mosley
I'm a cancer, which people usually don't get from me. It's either, like, I've, like. I'm a Libra rising. Aries moon. Okay. Yeah. Leo. Venus.
- [27:44]
Tracy Morrissey
Yeah. I would see. I would. I would totally say Aries for you.
- [27:47]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah. My mom has a very strong personality, and she crushed out a lot of the emotion of me at childhood.
- [27:52]
Tracy Morrissey
Good.
- [27:56]
Lacy Mosley
I'll never forget the first time I went to New York. We were walking the streets and, you know, I'm 12. I'm, like, looking around, like in New York, and my mom, like, hits me on my shoulder. She goes, stop looking around. You won't get us robbed. She's like, you don't cut it out with all that whimsical shit before we get stuck up. She wasn't wrong, you know. Learn from an early age. Don't look like a tourist anywhere you go. Guys don't act like a tourist.
- [28:24]
Tracy Morrissey
Totally. Because there's scams. There's like. Like regulars. Like the glasses scam. You know, the glasses scam? No, it's like, oh, if somebody, like, if you're getting on the subway or getting off the subway or like, whatever, like, you're not passing someone by on the platform, they like, bump into you and then their glasses fall on the ground and they're broken. And the thing is that they've already had broken glasses and they drop them. And then they're like, these were $140. Like, you owe me money. And then they'll, like, follow you and, you know, they try to get you to pay for the glasses. Yeah, it's a glasses scam, guys.
- [29:01]
Lacy Mosley
You hear that In New York City.
- [29:02]
Tracy Morrissey
It's one of the oldest ones.
- [29:03]
Lacy Mosley
That sounds like an oldie.
- [29:04]
Tracy Morrissey
People still do it, though.
- [29:06]
Lacy Mosley
Like, I've definitely seen the. Like, we trap you into purchasing things. But the glasses being a unique one, because I'm like, yeah, they could be. Like, these weren't Wabi. These are Chanel or Warby, Parker, whoever's got the expensive glasses. I guess Warby's cheaper, but. Yeah, that's such a good scam. No, I actually haven't heard that. Thank you, Tracy.
- [29:23]
Tracy Morrissey
See, glasses or a wine bottle. Expensive wine bottle. Same scam, but they'll deal with a wine bottle and they'll drop it and they're like, that was an 80 bottle of wine. I'm going to someone's house. How could you? Blah, blah, blah.
- [29:35]
Lacy Mosley
So you can buy.
- [29:36]
Tracy Morrissey
Here's the thing. If someone can buy an $80 bottle of wine, they're not taking the subway, right?
- [29:41]
Lacy Mosley
Also, if they can buy an $80 bottle of wine, they better be able to buy another $80 bottle of wine. Exactly. I. This. My last $80. Give me the cabinet. Like, why? Why? You shouldn't be purchasing Cabernet if you can't afford it. But, yeah, that's a good point. And all of those things involve urgency, too, because then it's like, oh, we're on the subway. Like, you need to give me this money right now. Like, yeah. So I always say, guys, anywhere you go traveling, like, I look, I love me. I love New York T shirt, like the next bitch. But, like, buy it and give it to your Midwestern family when you get home. Don't wear that shit. Don't look like a tourist, because I promise you issue. People target tourists.
- [30:23]
Tracy Morrissey
Hell, yeah.
- [30:24]
Lacy Mosley
Especially in big cities. But, okay, so you know his. He's a Scorpio. That was a dance. So it's fine. You know, some people love it, some people hate it, but they know it's gonna happen. So it's unclear how exactly this scam unraveled, but in February, many of the women banded together to form a victim association. No, these bitches did not incorporate on your motherfucking ass, Tekashi. Oh, they made an llc. They made a sorority.
- [30:56]
Tracy Morrissey
Oh, my God. They unionized.
- [30:58]
Lacy Mosley
They unionized. Since they got. They got on the picket line, they said, no more. Tekashi. No. 6, 9. Gotta go. Oh, yes. I love this. See, this is why you can't deal. You were dealing with bad bitches who obviously had at least a little bit of coin. And they're older. Oh, they about to Mighty Morphin.
- [31:17]
Tracy Morrissey
Okay, They've seen some stuff.
- [31:20]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah. They say assemble, and I love that for them. So once they had gathered enough evidence. So they went to get evidence. I love this. I love this. I want the movie. I want this movie. I'mma. I'mma get involved. So once they gathered enough evidence, they went to the police and reported him. The police report claimed that they had been defrauded of 100,000 Japanese yen. Almost $1,000. Okay. It sounded like a lot more than yen, but okay, one grand.
- [31:50]
Tracy Morrissey
Yeah, it did. It did.
- [31:51]
Lacy Mosley
Y' all going after this man for a stack.
- [31:52]
Tracy Morrissey
Thousand dollars? Is. Is that necessarily fraud?
- [31:56]
Lacy Mosley
A collective stack? He got all of Y', all. And in combination, it was $1,000.
- [32:06]
Tracy Morrissey
It's like, maybe, like. Wait, what is 35 into a thousand? I'm not, like, good at math.
- [32:11]
Lacy Mosley
Oh, right. Yeah. What's the math?
- [32:15]
Tracy Morrissey
35 is.
- [32:17]
Lacy Mosley
No.
- [32:17]
Tracy Morrissey
Could it be $28? Yeah. Yeah, it's 28.28.57.
- [32:24]
Lacy Mosley
So I guess some of the birthday gifts were cheaper than others, because I'm like, y'. All. Y' all really made an association. Gathered evidence. You probably spent more time than you did money trying to take down Takashi.
- [32:37]
Tracy Morrissey
Yeah, but also, he's not that efficient of a scammer if he only got got that much out of them.
- [32:44]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah, no, I mean, maybe he also sold them some shower heads, and they're not competing.
- [32:48]
Tracy Morrissey
They must have been pissed. Yeah, because he must have just really played with their emotions.
- [32:52]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah, this sounds like more of, like, a revenge of pettiness than like, they actually want the monetary. Yeah, it's a love scam. So the gifts varied from electronics to clothing, including an almost 280 suit. So some of them probably paid more. And I bet you those girls were the ones leading the way. Like, whoever paid for that suit was like, oh, no, girls, we're gonna get him. You're gonna get your 28 back. You're gonna get your 1099. I'm gonna get my 20. Everyone's getting paid. Okay. Oh, y' all went to McDonald's, and he made you pick it up. Great. 480. We putting it in. Okay. We're gonna get it back. There's someone petty at the helm of this, and I love that for them. So in an interview with MBS News, one of Tekashi's victims. Victim said that he had told her that he was serious about their relationship and wanted to be with her forever.
- [33:41]
Tracy Morrissey
Wow.
- [33:43]
Lacy Mosley
This is dangerous. You never know. Somebody could snap. You could be catching somebody on their last. Some people have been over so much in life that, you know, you might have caught them on their last straw, and then next thing you know, they're following you or, you know, trying to harm you. This is not wise.
- [33:59]
Tracy Morrissey
No.
- [33:59]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah. So one woman told the news that he kissed her on the second date. She said, I told him, I don't want to do that. Unless you're someone who wants to get married or really be with me in the future. Tekasha responded, I'm serious. I'm gonna be with you for the rest of my life. Yo, this man is a sociopath.
- [34:20]
Tracy Morrissey
I feel like that's when, you know, that's when you Know some. A man is lying to you if he says that on the second date.
- [34:26]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah, yeah, Mendoza.
- [34:30]
Tracy Morrissey
That there's something wrong with him. He's either a liar or he's a total whack job.
- [34:35]
Lacy Mosley
Right. You. I don't even think you want somebody to want you for the rest of their life on the second date. They don't know nothing about you.
- [34:41]
Tracy Morrissey
No, I'm still like, I'm still not me on the second date. I'm like dating me. I'm like the. I'm second date me, which is like, you know, a little bit drunk and like I smell nice and I look good.
- [34:56]
Lacy Mosley
Right? You're right. Because let's not lie about it. Dating is a scam in itself. We all show up as our best selves. And then, you know, once you're like four months in, you know, you can be like, yeah, women do fart. I lied. Yeah.
- [35:09]
Tracy Morrissey
No, I mean, my boobs are. I'm wearing like a push up bra. My boobs don't look like that when I take my bra off.
- [35:14]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah, my boobs don't normally touch my earlobes, like, you know, for the date. You're absolutely right. And you know, men do it as well. But if someone's coming on that strong, coming in that hot, that's too hot.
- [35:28]
Tracy Morrissey
No, it's something wrong.
- [35:30]
Lacy Mosley
So photographs published by the network show Tekashi with several different women at restaurants and at a park. In one image, two small cakes can be seen with the message, happy birthday. Oh, let's see that video. We got a video where we got photos of him at multiple tables with multiple birthday cakes. Cakes.
- [35:47]
Tracy Morrissey
Wow.
- [35:47]
Lacy Mosley
Takashi.
- [35:50]
Tracy Morrissey
Multiple cakes.
- [35:52]
Lacy Mosley
Wow. I really love cake.
- [35:54]
Tracy Morrissey
Is he.
- [35:55]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah.
- [35:55]
Tracy Morrissey
Is he always asking for cakes because he likes it so much?
- [35:58]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah, because I have birthdays with people and I don't necessarily bring them cake. Like, I don't think that's necessary.
- [36:04]
Tracy Morrissey
Oh, this round's on me.
- [36:06]
Lacy Mosley
Right? Let's see. Let's click on this video and see what these cakes look like. And I'll post this video to the page. So they found the man. So we're watching this video and they're following this man around. He's masked up and he looked like he didn't want any attention. Now we're looking at all these pictures of him with all these different women. Cakes with cakes.
- [36:27]
Tracy Morrissey
He looks young. How old do you think he is?
- [36:29]
Lacy Mosley
He's 39. Okay, so he must be moisturizing or this video must be grainy, like one of the two. Okay, so he's Got photo. He's doing selfies with these ladies. Yeah, he's got. Oh, my gosh. All these women have so many photos of him on their phones.
- [36:50]
Tracy Morrissey
Wow.
- [36:51]
Lacy Mosley
Look at all these cakes. Like they're blurred because you can't see the women's faces. But I'm. I'm seeing the cakes coming through.
- [36:58]
Tracy Morrissey
That's wild. Maybe he loves cake.
- [37:01]
Lacy Mosley
Maybe he just loves cake. This is a lot of work for cake robbery. I take off my bra as soon as I get in my car on the way home. I don't even wait till I get home.

Tracy Morrissey
Wig.
- [39:44]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah, it's giving wig. Is he wearing a wig?
- [39:47]
Tracy Morrissey
Yeah, it I. It feels like a wig to me. It's a little bit like Diane Warren's hair, right? Elaine Maxwellish.
- [39:56]
Lacy Mosley
It is Ghislaine. He's giving us the Ghislaine haircut. That's absolutely what's happening. He's also not really cute enough for this. So these women probably were just like, look, at this point, I'm looking for personality.
- [40:09]
Tracy Morrissey
He wasn't a three piece suit, so. So, you know, I guess that's like he had like style. I wonder if that was a suit she bought him.
- [40:19]
Lacy Mosley
Oh, wow. Cause it does look nice. And for selling them shower heads, it doesn't seem like he's coming up that much. Huh.
- [40:25]
Tracy Morrissey
Wait, this. All right, so this, this shot is like he's on a date with a woman and her face is blurred. Is this a sting operation? Because it's like someone else is filming it in the restaurant.
- [40:34]
Lacy Mosley
I think this might be when the ladies got together because I'm like, how do they have a whole video? So this is wild. They started chasing this man. He started running away. This is the reporters trying to talk to him. Look, he running from the left to the right. Okay, wait, this reporter got some moves on them. There's some football moves. Okay, now they chasing him. He is fully doing a light jog. Okay, okay. Oh, and now he's running. Oh, he's running away. It.
- [41:10]
Tracy Morrissey
Wow. The reporter is like able to keep up. The cameraman must be having a hard time.
- [41:15]
Lacy Mosley
It's pretty steady focus for that. Okay, we can stop watching it. I'll post this video for you guys to see, but can we just talk about the Japanese news mbs? Like, y' all got some athletes over there, right? Normally when somebody says they don't want to do a news story in America, you don't see like the reporter go full Usain bolt and just be jogging behind this man.
- [41:38]
Tracy Morrissey
No, not even like, Help Me Howard or whatever one of like those kinds of shows are where they like try to like that had a real Help Me Howard vibe or like Billy on.
- [41:47]
Lacy Mosley
The street, but if Billy Eichner ran track.
- [41:50]
Tracy Morrissey
Yeah.
- [41:54]
Lacy Mosley
I'm proud of that reporter. I'm proud of that reporter. He's like, no, you go talk to us. You go talk to us. That was excellent, excellent reporting. I hope you getting some awards, King. So this bizarre video, basically Twitter was amazed by this crime, right? One Twitter user wrote, are you aiming for a Guinness world record? Another one said, he's a skillful and diligent man. What a great talent. It's not possible to do this unless you can remember personalities, names, jobs, and preferences of 35 people. That's true. And one tweet said, With 35 people, if he was seeing one person a day, that means he could only meet one woman once every 35 days. If he met two women or two to three women a day, then he could see them every two weeks. Did he treat dating like juggling or a different part time job? Yes, he did.
- [42:42]
Tracy Morrissey
I can't even remember, like, I can't remember things about like my, My really like, great. My really good friends, you know, that I've known for so long. Like, I get things jumbled in my head. They're like, dating 35 people is like, that's a. A nightmare.
- [42:58]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah. You have to have something wrong with you. Something at least that delights in tricking people, which, that's the thing. Like a lot of scammers, people think like, oh, it's just about the money. And they make a lot of money and they don't quit. And people wonder why they don't pull out the game. And I'm like, because it was never about the money. Like, some people are really passionate about fraud.
- [43:18]
Tracy Morrissey
I feel like he was probably like a really good texter. And I bet that he just like was texting constantly with these women and he didn't want to be ever like alone with his thoughts. Like, he just wanted to always be like, having someone to respond to him like that might have been like a component of it. Yeah, yeah.
- [43:36]
Lacy Mosley
Cuz what he got out of it. Yeah. And then that kind of Makes the birthday thing make sense, because it's not like the gifts that he got equated to that much money, but it is that attention. It's your birthday, like, almost, what, at least once a month, twice a month. He.
- [43:48]
Tracy Morrissey
He wants them to sing for him, and he wants to blow out the candles. He wants everyone in the restaurant to look.
- [43:56]
Lacy Mosley
Y'. All. Tekashi never had a birthday. That's why he's like this. I'm trying to give him a sob story.
- [44:02]
Tracy Morrissey
That's the backstory. Yeah.
- [44:03]
Lacy Mosley
That's what it. What it was. Yeah. No cake for you, Takashi. Well, they're coming down on him. They're trying to punish him with some kind of, you know, I don't know how this breaks the law, but perhaps in Japan it does because the authorities are after him. So, you know, we'll see how that develops.
- [44:18]
Tracy Morrissey
Oh, my God. It'd be incredible if it's illegal to lie to women in Japan. Like, what could you imagine?
- [44:26]
Lacy Mosley
Every man in the US Will be under the jail.
- [44:28]
Tracy Morrissey
Like, that's what I love about Mariah Carey. When she sued James Packard for. For wasting her time for $50 million, and he settled with her.
- [44:39]
Lacy Mosley
Her time is worth that much money? It really is.
- [44:44]
Tracy Morrissey
She relocated her family.
- [44:46]
Lacy Mosley
She uprooted her life. I mean. I mean, that's a big expense.
- [44:49]
Tracy Morrissey
Yeah.
- [44:50]
Lacy Mosley
And, I mean, next to Jesus Christ, who are we celebrating during Christmas? That's a whole. You know what I mean? Like, she owns the holiday. She's a Christmas. Very busy woman, you know?
- [44:59]
Tracy Morrissey
Exactly.
- [45:00]
Lacy Mosley
Honestly, she might be making more money than Jesus on Christmas. Like.
- [45:05]
Tracy Morrissey
Mariah is the reason for the season now.
- [45:07]
Lacy Mosley
Right. So I applauded her for that. I. I wish I could sue men for wasting my time.
- [45:13]
Tracy Morrissey
Oh, my God, me too. I. But I only. I don't date guys who are billionaires, unfortunately.
- [45:19]
Lacy Mosley
Right. Not yet. I'm gonna. I'm gonna start trying.
- [45:23]
Tracy Morrissey
I interviewed the rapper trina once, like, 15 years ago, and I was like, trina, how do I meet guys that have a lot of money? And she told me that I need to go to parties on boats.
- [45:34]
Lacy Mosley
Wow.
- [45:35]
Tracy Morrissey
That's how you meet guys with a lot of money, Go to a party on a boat.
- [45:39]
Lacy Mosley
You heard it here first, guys. And I'm about to be on every boat party now. Okay. With my beautiful best, my best fashions and lashes, trying to catch me a billionaire to ruin the planet with. I fully shift. I'm no longer an ethical person. I'm like, look, guys, I don't know what to tell you. Billionaires Are hurting too, guys. We're hurting too. Full monster. It's time for scammer of the week. This is where we highlight one charlatan that we just think is worthy of our praise. Maybe not, Tracy. Maybe we'll hate the them. I'm not sure. We'll see. So scammer of the week is Seth Andrew, who served in the Obama administration and stole more than $200,000 to help him buy a $2 million Manhattan apartment. Prosecutors said. Wow. So Seth was a former senior adviser in the Obama administration. He was arrested on charges that he stole more than $200,000 from schools that he founded. So he founded the schools, and then he founded the money from them.
- [46:38]
Tracy Morrissey
He founded where they kept it. It.
- [46:41]
Lacy Mosley
Right. He found it where they kept the money, you know, and he discovered it. He took it with him. You know, he just made a discovery. So he used that money to get a lower interest rate on a mortgage for the Manhattan apartment. Seth is 42, and he's accused of taking money from bank accounts controlled by democracy prep public schools, which teaches mostly low income students of color in New York and other states, and used it to purchase a 2. $2 million apartment. All right, Seth, we'll fuck with your ass. If you had stole this from the Gossip girl bitches up on east, you know, on the Upper east side, if this was a xo XO scam, I would have been like, sure, they don't need all that money, but you're stealing from low income schools.
- [47:23]
Tracy Morrissey
I already don't have money. Like, what? I just want to. I just want to put it out there that, like. And this will sound. I don't know if this sounds bad or whatever, but like a $2 million apartment in New York City, that's not.
- [47:36]
Lacy Mosley
That's like a.
- [47:37]
Tracy Morrissey
That's like a two bedroom, right? It's not like, yeah, it's not worth it. It's not worth, like, going to jail for. It's not like. It's not like a mansion. It's not like you can't even, like, you know, fully have a family. That it probably doesn't even have a view, depending on where it is, you know, might even be in a walk up.
- [47:55]
Lacy Mosley
I'm glad you said that because it's, you know, for those of you guys who listen and you're not living in New York City or not living in Los Angeles, California, like, the housing market here is so astronomical that I've seen apartments that were 600 square feet for $2 million. And I was like, oh, you are Playing with me. So this is not a lot for the area that he's living in. And it's also like, bro, what makes you think you deserve to live in a $2 million Manhattan apartment that you can't fucking afford?
- [48:25]
Tracy Morrissey
Like, yeah, that just means he's like. Feels like he's too good enough. He's. He's. He's too good to, like, you know, live in a studio or whatever. He's like, I need to. I need to level up to a two bedroom, then I need to own it.
- [48:39]
Lacy Mosley
Right? He's like, I work for the Obama administration, so I deserve these things. And this.
- [48:43]
Tracy Morrissey
What did he do for the Obama administration?
- [48:45]
Lacy Mosley
Does it say other than crime? He helped create the network of charter schools in 2005, and he left the network in 2013 for a job at. At the US Department of Education.
- [48:57]
Tracy Morrissey
So he sold out.
- [48:58]
Lacy Mosley
Yeah. So he kind of, you know, went to a bigger job when he worked at the White House, he continued to be paid by the charter school network. So he did all this robbing before he took the White House job, but then continued to be on payroll for the charter school network afterwards. He used his former association with the charter schools to steal $218,000 by using his email address affiliated with the schools to email a Blank employee and convince them that he was still associated with the school, which he was not. FBI Agent William F. Sweeney, Jr. What a name said William F. Sweeney, Jr. I don't know. Are you a scammer? William F. Sweeney? What kind of name is that? So he said, today, Andrew himself is learning one of life's most basic lessons. What doesn't belong to you is not yours for the taking. Okay? FBI not get it all preachy. Y' all are shady as, like, come on now. It's like if the Klan caught, like, a bomber and was like, now what he learned today is hurting innocent people is wrong. It's like, no, exactly. Still the clan. Like, come on now.
- [50:04]
Tracy Morrissey
Exactly.

Lacy Mosley
So according to the charter school's website, Seth Andrew founded Democracy Prep in 2005 to ensure that every single student will work hard to go to college and change the world. The phrase change the world is on the back of the yellow baseball cap that Seth made a part of his signature look. And now we have a picture of him with this baseball cap. Now, here's what I was saying. I haven't seen the front of Seth's head, but I can tell he's a white man. He's got a full head of hair. How tall is he? Because, you know, White man plus tall and full head of hair equals charismatic. So.
- [50:42]
Tracy Morrissey
But I don't know if he's wearing hats all the time. It might be. There might be. He might be receding at the time.
- [50:47]
Lacy Mosley
You think he might be receding? Okay. Because it's very thick to be receded sometimes.
- [50:52]
Tracy Morrissey
No. Sometimes guys have like really thick hair on the bottom and then it. There's just like nothing up here. Or it's like very, very thin. Or like they have like, it starts to go back and like the two triangles.
- [51:03]
Lacy Mosley
Oh yeah, the two little. Yeah, where they drive backwards. Yeah. Which guys. Look, look. Hair comes, goes, comes and goes. For women too. Be proud of your ball. Just shine it up, Mr. Clean. Sexy as fuck. You don't gotta hold on too tight. But I think the bigger point of this picture is like he's wearing this cap that says changed the world and it's kind of got a blurred out background of like black and brown kids. Like, you can tell, you can see their skin colors. It's just so gross to me that this man. And this is the thing about liberals and the thing that we're no longer being skinned scammed by this liberal thing. Like, we know there's racism on both sides. It's a lot more on the Republican side. But let's not act like the Democrats aren't doing as well. We got Nancy Pelosi thanking George Floyd for sacrificing his life. Like he Jesus. George Floyd wasn't Jesus. He didn't want to sacrifice his life for this country. For y' all raggedy. Like, please don't make him Jesus. No black person alive today is trying to be like, oh, one day I hope that I sacrifice my life for freedom. To freedom. Not. Oh my God.
- [52:01]
Tracy Morrissey
Yeah, it was a. Give me a break.
- [52:02]
Lacy Mosley
It was a disgusting thing to say. But you see it again with this guy. He's supposed to be helping black and brown children. Instead he's stealing from him so he could get a nice apartment that he can't afford.
- [52:11]
Tracy Morrissey
He's an opportunist. I feel like the scam is part of the hat. I mean the. I mean the hat is part of the scam because he has a hat on in every single one of these pictures. He's absolutely balding.
- [52:22]
Lacy Mosley
He's.
- [52:22]
Tracy Morrissey
He's hiding the balding.
- [52:23]
Lacy Mosley
He's hat fishing us.
- [52:24]
Tracy Morrissey
He's hat fishing.
- [52:27]
Lacy Mosley
Cause who wears a hat with a suit? Like, he's trying to make the hat cute. I know, right? What are you in this suit for? Are you wearing this damn hat? Yeah, we haven't seen a photo of his naked head yet. Where's your raw head, Seth? Yeah, look at it. Look at it. He got a raw head out here. Wow. This man always got a head condom on. Wow. Well, Seth, we don't with you. That brings us to the end of another episode of Scam Got it on the words hat condom or head condom, which is perfectly fine with me. So, Tracy, we always ask people on the show, where do you want to be found? Where do you want people to find you?
