BlogCast: From Audio to Insight
This post comes straight from an episode of Behind the Scams, the true‑crime podcast from Stamp Out Scams. We couldn’t choose between writing or talking about scams—so we figured, why not both? That’s how the BlogCast was born: in a world full of scams, sometimes you need both a keyboard and a microphone to fight back.
We’ve turned this podcast episode into a full written story because the lessons in it are simply too important to miss. Scams don’t just steal money—they take away trust, security, and sometimes even lives. By turning these stories into blog posts, we make sure you can read, share, and easily search for the crucial prevention details that might one day protect someone you care about.
If you prefer to take it all in at your own pace, the full story from the podcast is right here in written form. It’s designed to let you dig into the details in whatever way works best for you.
Prefer listening over reading? The full episode is waiting for you in the player above. And if you’ve got a favorite podcast app, we’ve made it easy—just scroll click on your platform of choice. It’s like scam‑fighting, but hands‑free!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
