Laci welcomes comedians Anna Bezahler and Isabella Escalante (The Z-Suite, Comedy Bang Bang) to discuss 73-year-old Mary Carole McDonnell, our so-called “Aircraft Heiress” scammer who, in fact, was not related to the McDonnell Aircraft family at all. Anna shares stories from her door-to-door scamming days, and Isabella scams her way back into college to prove to an improv team that she was always talented and funny enough to make the cut. Plus, a Scammer of the Week from South Carolina who stole credit cards to pull off ski pass scams for years. Stay schemin’!
