Once Upon a Con

Once Upon a Con

Former tv personality Caroline D’Amore met a suave, well-connected businessman at her swanky LA apartment complex. David Bloom said he wanted to invest in her organic food startup and brokered a meeting with the CEO of Whole Foods. But after the money changed hands, D’Amore got a bad feeling about her business partner. It was just Bloom’s latest con in a lifetime of swindles. But determined to get satisfaction, D’Amore and her fellow victims tried to turn the tables on the fraudster…all while recording audio of it.

From iHeartPodcasts, AYR Media and 32 Flavors comes “Once Upon a Con.” The former model/reality star/business woman tells her story of getting defrauded by a professional grifter. It also features audio D’Amore recorded in real-time of her discovering the swindle and confronting the perpetrator.

OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "ONCE UPON A CON" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 12 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
