    One of my favorite comedy podcasts out there!
    Scam Goddess is one of my favorite comedy podcasts out there. I was introduced to this podcast by a friend and I’ve been hooked ever since. I find it educational about scams and how to avoid them, but also hilarious! Laci is an amazing host! I could listen to Scam Goddess all day!
  • cindibeth
    Educational and Entertainmenting
    Laci Mosely is funny and charming as it gets. Love her. Smart and talented. This podcast is endlessly entertaining and it’s a popculture knowledge fest as well, it’ll help you keep up. Her guests are always high quality. She’s had some folks who just open up a new side to of them that’s more personal and authentic than we often get from celebs due to the structure of more traditional platforms and production styles, e.g. the Sam Richardson episode. Her staff and she does the work all ahead of time so that Laci can present portions of each episode blindly. It’s so fun to discovery the scams with her during this section. I never want any episode to end. She has several recurring guests that you get to know and admire like Ashley Ray-Harris. She so well liked by such cool and smart people at the top tier of what they do that she introduces me to other awesome podcasts. Believe it or not I found “Conan O’ Brien Needs a Friend” through Scam Goddess. I also found “Into It” with Sam Sanders. I found Laci through Sarah Marshall’s “You’re Wrong About.” These are all faves. Higgggghly recommend Scam Goddess.
  • Breanna Steiff
    I like it so bad!!
    This is in my top 5 favorite podcasts! I love that Laci is finding out what happens in the story at the same time we do, it makes it much more exciting. Whether the story is new to the audience or not, the re-telling is even better when Laci and her guest get their hands on it. Laci's "oop"s, gasps, and "come again??"s create a recipe for a parasocial relationship because it feels like talking to your bestie. Her personality is contagious and her jokes always make my day. Forever laughing listening to the podcast. When she's actually with a bestie, the pod is even better, I LOVE the tangents. Laci has a way with people where every guest seems like her life-long friend by the end of the episode. Always so much chemistry on the microphone. I like this show so bad. It's the perfect balance of hilarious, entertaining, and perhaps learning something new during an episode.
  • Vicysem
    I want to like it so bad!!
    This show has all the pieces for a great time, but Laci coming in cold to the stories makes it really frustrating bc if you have any knowledge of the topic at all, you’ll know more than what information you get from this show. Also the stumbling over words when reading, jokes that are mostly humble brags, etc. stop being funny after a while. Where the show really shines is if there’s a guest who Laci is friends/vibes with & also has knowledge of the topic. On the flip side, listening to episodes where there’s zero chemistry with the guests is…cringeworthy at best :( I wanna like the show so bad but it’s missing either being “funny enough” or “informative enough” to make me a loyal listener.
  • R.C. Tay
    Awesome show
    You make me laugh so much in a healing way, and those laughs have helped me so much. Thank you, Laci, or should I say—Ms. Goddess. I truly appreciate your show & humor. ❣️❣️
  • Queefqueen2016
    Hilarious
    Lacey I love you. Knock it off with the breathy voice 🩷
  • Emily R. Short
    Laci is a Star
    Laci is hilarious so I find myself coming back to this podcast over and over :) super funny! Update: Laci the voice coach is scamming you!! Your natural voice is perfect. The Jay Shetty episode you sound like you’re doing a fake voice the whole time. 😭
  • Phatjoe21
    Keep bringing the hits Lacey
    I’ve been listening for six months now and when I’m in my company car (on company time) I enjoy hearing all the episodes and the comedy in between while traversing from one job site to the next. Lacey, I should’ve known better, as I wasn’t listening yesterday because I was out getting scammed for the first time ever! Crazy right? Anyways, keep the episodes coming!
  • BrynnBarnoskie
    Awesome
    I’m only fourteen, but my moms a banker. I like in a small town so I hear about scammers all the time. A little too much cussing and stuff but is still good. I like hearing about stuff like this and not teenage girl drama so… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • Cheri Col.
    It’s a “no” for me
    Trying to find a good scam podcast. This is too dumb for me. Listening to the intro of one episode and I gotta quit it. These people don’t even know how eggs are produced and I can’t.
  • Nihilly
    My kind of carrying on
    I put this on whenever I need to escape and just laugh at real life and I haven’t been let down.
  • goose1776
    Perfection in a Pod
    I have binged EVERY episode available over the last month and a half and I need more scams!!!! Some of these reviews clearly don’t understand this is a podcast for scams & COMEDY! Have fun y’all keep it light & enjoy. Favorite thing I’ve had in my ears in 2024.
  • I laugh alone in public
    Hilarious
    Reminds me of the most hilarious conversations I’ve had with my friends where the conversation follows the most ridiculous places your head takes you. Laughing until your cheeks hurt. Came for the scam story— stayed for the laughs. You’re great at what you do. Please do a standup show in Seattle.
  • CMS5597
    A True Goddess
    The true crime weirdos who say there is to much chatting need Jesus. Laci is SO funny it’s unreal, and I would listen to her riff all day, I don’t care about what! If you’re tired of listening podcasts where white woman giggle over gruesome murders, listen to this instead and your soul will be healed. A-MEN AND HALLELUJAH!
  • jessipooters
    Way too much chatting going on
    I find myself skipping through most of this to get to the actual stories. There’s way too much talking about pointless stuff.
  • Las71477
    Sad racist
    Ghetto !!!
  • Tor7072
    Decent
    Hot tip…skip the first 30min of giggling and rambling to get to the actual story.
  • Deirdredallas
    Too much chit chat
    For the love of God, please stop using the phrase quote unquote. In 15 minutes of the episode I just listened to the host said it three times. Not everything needs to be in quotation marks. At that point, I turned off the podcast. This podcast has potential if the host could only modulate their voice. And, cut out unnecessary chitchat. I’ll try some of the newer episodes to see if it’s improved.
  • Nikkie A.
    All hail the Scam Goddess!
    I recently found this podcast after seeing a clip of Laci on social media, and I am hooked! Out of the several episodes I’ve listened to so far there were only 2-3 that weren’t funny…not because of Laci (because she was doing her thing) but the guests on those episodes were not funny at all. Laci is naturally funny and quick witted when it comes to commentary and impromptu skits. This is now my favorite podcast.

    ConCON
    The latest epi about the Wonka Convention and TanaCon was one of the best episodes you have done! Also, you should create a ConCON, a scam convention but real. It would be live shows, and how to stay safe during cons and scams!
  • Kate122821
    Love this show!
    I love this show so much! But so many re runs lately! I need more new scam goddess!

    saved me from a scam!!
    i absolutely LOVE this podcast. that parasocial relationship has me thinking i have a new bff when i listen! AND ALSO this podcast literally just saved me from being scammed! i got a phone call from a number that appeared to be the right number but when they said “this call is on a recorded line” i heard laci in my head saying “why do they think if they say it’s on a recorded line that people won’t think it’s a scam” lol. they gave me a reference number too! well i called the bank directly and they had absolutely no record of anyone calling me and the confirmation number is even in the wrong format. so THANK YOU for entertaining me with this delightful podcast and also for helping inform all of us about what’s hot in fraud 🔥
  • AAKimmy
    iHeart Radio Winner!!
    Congratulations!! Best Overall Host at the 2024 awards. You deserve it!!
  • buffy3737
    Hmmm
    Too much white verse black talk , just keeps the separation alive and victim mindset not good for our people. Is this a funny scam podcast show or a black movement thing? Also white, black, Asian and Latin all people get scammed and can also all be scammers so not sure why this has to have some race edge to it. humans are messed up across the world and also nice across the world, we are a mixed bag globally so stop with the generalization mindset it’s dated … black folk do this white folk do that… it’s about social economic status not about race. Just sayin.
  • StuzzyPo
    I never write reviews
    But this chick is hilarious. I’m entranced and enthralled. Keep them coming!!!
  • Jennifercamp32
    Great!!!
    Love this!!!!
  • anaggrgry
    they dont talk about anything at all...
    im literally skipping through 30 minutes of the host and the guest talking about personal stuff and inside jokes that the listener is not in on to try to get to the point of the show, which is the scammer story - only for them to talk about it for one sentence and then deviate and talk about NOTHING for another twenty minutes. it feels like such a waste of time. Not only that but as a black femme myself, it feels like Laci is putting on this stupid minstrel act with her guests trying to 'black it up' for comedic effect when her real voice and real accent is nothing like that and she constantly switches it to a blaccent when she wants to be perceived as funny. like are you not embarrassed just shucking and jiving for your guests.. do u not think its bizarre?? It's like she saw Nicole on Girl Code and decided to take her persona and use it as a caricature. it's not authentic its just weird
  • Jay DeeNola
    Fun podcast
    Laci is a funny host who usually has good guests with good banter. I said in my last review she could be more focused but it take it back! Her style is fun and unique and I’m happy to hear her random side notes. It’s a little chaotic at first but it grows on you!
  • Sara_Canadian
    Really?
    This pod was on my list for ages so I finally jumped in, listening to the episode about the guy who scammed Netflix. Wow, this was bad. Like: really bad. There’s no focus to the episode. The story never really gets told. And the hosts get basic facts wrong (no, porn is no longer made in San Fernando Valley, go read about it) What a waste of time.
  • A. Clock
    Mischievous fun
    I am a new listener as of a couple months (thank you Normal Gossip for the rec!) and the episode with Sam Richardson is the best I have heard so far! You two are so funny and have such a natural rapport/chemistry!
  • Ree11207
    Scaaaammms
    The live show in Chicago was an amazing, joyous, epic good time.
  • Chi2kcldy
    Unfocused and too much banter
    It takes the host almost 20 minutes to get to the actual topic. When she begins to address the topic she’s all over the place. It’s really hard to listen to. I have tried and tried. I wish she could get more focused while keeping the podcast fun. Unfortunately this is a no from me. Way too much banter and side talking
  • Jahdbakabdhsna
    ima let you finish
    Laci girl five stars for sure and ima let you finish hahahaha and scam that bag but the fraud Fridays thing is annoying girl you know we’ve heard every episode!!!!!!!

    Where IS the paywall?
    Hey Laci-you keep talking about the paywall and I'd like to find it but I can't! Help me pay you money! Thank you.
  • brewsterfish
    Love the show!
    My mom took me out of karate so she could sell Amway. Scam Goddess is full of wild stories from the underhanded schemes your weird uncle pulls to some scams that shook thousands. Great show.
  • kim ann fl
    Too loud
    Your voice is too loud , your banter is off point and annoying. I had to turn off the show because you were bothering me
  • Deadza
    1st Episode was great!
    Keeps getting progressively more cruel though and has a displaced narrative per story covered. 3rd episode was a hard listen as the host and guest were just smug and cruel. I actually had to skip it half-way in. Eventually a very weird event repeats itself where a guest will call out the host "your voice changed again..." and the host sounds like a TOTALLY different person dropping her affected accent. Which makes me as a listener feel a little crazy! In the end I find the host very funny most of the time and each scam story is pretty fascinating when they actually get to th facts and stop left field side-talking. never mind. mixed around and ended up at the old Paula Poundstone episode. Paula talks about being physically attacked by a scammer...scum bag Laci says she's on the scammer's side. What a dumb horrible unfunny thing to say and anyone like that just strikes me as a waste of human skin.
  • KillaEstacks
    Hilarious!
    Laci is like my favorite play cousin in my head. 😂 The jokes be spot on. I listen in the car, in the shower, and really anywhere chile! One of my favorite podcasts especially from a black woman. Highly highly recommend!!!!!
  • No Nose
    losing the appeal for me
    I used to listen all the time but now it’s getting annoying. Laci is all over the place and sometimes will try to talk about topics seriously but has the depth of someone who gets their news from reading only the titles of articles.
  • Arejay1100
    Best intro in the game!
    Georgia said it best , you got the best intro in podcast and that’s just the facts
  • OU Tash
    Doing Too Much
    Came here after hearing you on I’ve Had It. Loved that appearance and maybe the Lularoe episode was not the one to start with but GIRL! You were all over the place. I tried to fight through the mindless banter but my God today. This episode was too erratic for me. I tried to stick in there because I’ve seen the documentary but I was having a hard time following you getting distracted. Wish you best of luck but I think you do too much for me to listen for a whole hour.
  • dancerdarnold
    Amazing!!
    I found Laci’s podcast after she was on Ghosted with Roz Hernandez and I’m so glad I did. I love the stories and the humor!! The best!! 😊

    Let Laci eat!
    Y’all need to be thankful she makes this amazing podcast. Thank you Laci for blessing us with this! White people stop being racist in these comments and go mind your own business.
