32: TARGETED BY FREEMASONS: Scam or cult? The fraudster who tricked, tortured and fleeced the de Védrines family

Admin — Wed, 10 Aug 2022 02:00:00 +0000

What would you do if someone you trusted told you that you were being hunted by freemasons and the lives of you and your family were in danger? This week on Eavesdroppin’, Geordie does a deep dive into a crazy story she heard about when she was holidaying in a small village in France that includes French aristocracy, cults, scams, tricksters, freemasons and a Machiavellian fraudster who fleeced a family of everything they’ve ever owned…

In 1999, 48-year-old law-school dropout Thierry Tilly befriended Ghislaine de Védrines, a French aristocrat running a secretarial school in Paris. By 2001, after gaining the trust of Ghislaine and her family, he slowly began to convince them that the lives of the entire family were in danger from freemasons and that they must all become recluses and give him all their money… Well it’s a bit more complicated than that but if you want to know more, you’re going to have to listen to the episode to find out how it all went down!

We hope you enjoy this week’s episode – and wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

Why do people pretend to be someone they’re not?

Admin — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 13:01:00 +0000

Have you ever pretended to be someone else? Michelle hasn’t – although there was the time she told some d*ck who was hitting on her in a bar that she was rich because she produced Barbie Girl for Aqua. Does that count?

This week, Geordie and Michelle wanted to look at people who pretend to be someone else and honestly, the two cases the pair bring to the Eavesdroppin’ table are nothing alike, more than both are bizarre and strange. Totally up the Eavesdroppin’ alley, then.

So… Case Number 1 is the seemingly motiveless cases of con artist and impersonator Samantha Azzopardi. She’s Australian, she often pretends to be a 14 year old, even though she’s in her mid 30s, she often claims she’s pregnant, or a Russian gymnast or a talent scout for Pixar – and she’s confused and baffled authorities all over the world with claims that she’s a sex-trafficking victim who’s escaped from a life of abuse. It’s heartbreaking, really, when you think about it because there’s something more profoundly disturbing going on that just a woman wanting to create mischief… Best listen to the episode if you want to know more.

Then there’s the gender fraud case of Gayle Newland. If you managed to miss this one in the British news, you can catch all the details in the episode, which will include things like: Gayle pretended to be a guy called Kye to bag the girl she fancied called Chloe… And in a bizarre twist of events, which include bandages, blindfolds and handcuffs, Chloe and ‘Kye’ had SEX. And then it all gets weird from there… Sex, lies and strap-ons is all we’re gonna say.

Get listening. Get sharing. Get liking. Tell your friends but most of all, get Eavesdroppin’!

Admin — Wed, 23 Jun 2021 02:00:00 +0000

True crime podcast: SEX, LIES AND STRAP ONS… What are they on about??? This week is all about The Great Pretenders… In particular, con woman and imposter Samantha Azzopardi and the curious case of ‘Chloe’ and Gayle Newland…

We’ve got Deception! Imposters! Gender Fraud! Child Stealing! Fake Identities! D*ck Pics! Strap Ons! And all the other good stuff…

The pair kick off with apologies and shart outs, followed by the true crime case of Samantha Azzopardi, a 33 year old Australian woman who in the past has pretended to be loads of different people, including a schoolgirl, a wealthy au pair, Swedish royalty, a teen sex trafficking victim, a talent scout for Pixar and a Russian gymnast…

Geordie follows with the British case of Gayle Newland, aka Kye Fortune, and ‘Chloe’… It’s a fascinating deep dive into the ethical complexities of gender fraud – and the consequences of pretending to be a man to another woman who thinks you’re a man when you’re actually a woman… Got it?

12: True Crime Part 2: Shady Ladies: Fraudsters Lezlie Manukian & Anna Delvey

Admin — Wed, 17 Mar 2021 02:00:00 +0000

True Crime Part 2: This week, Geordie and Michelle dig into the cases of con artists Lezlie Manukian & Anna Delvey. After a laughing fit, an update of Part 1 & the case of Melissa Caddick, and Michelle dropping the C-bomb, Geordie takes a look at super shady lady Lezlie Manukian. In 2006, Kiwi backpacker Greg Wards met older woman and serial fraudster Lezlie Manukian in London. This encounter went on to financially and emotionally devastate not just Greg but his entire family. Props to ABC podcast Unravel for the intel on the story. Michelle then unwraps the story of Anna Delvey slash Sorokin. The pair discuss how the daughter of a Russian truck driver managed to fool New York’s wealthiest and most powerful into believing she was a German heiress on a mission to open an art foundation. They then examine the wreckage she left behind. NEW MUSIC ALERT! We now have DITTIES!
