Scammed
Go inside the deranged minds of hosts, friends and celebrity sleuths Tiffany Faure and Nicole James, where everything and everyone in pop culture is probably/definitely scamming us.

If you've been seeing Jameela's name everywhere lately and have no idea why, don't worry, we gotchu. Tiff and Nicole break down what's going on with the "Good Place" star--it's A LOT--and why everyone on Twitter is so mad about it. Plus, stop by the Kardashian Korner for Kourtney's tips on keeping your home green. In a word: LOL.
Happy Valentine’s Day, scam fam! Just kidding, we don’t really care about V-Day, we just wanted an excuse to talk about love and dating scams. In this episode, Nicole explores the scammy origins of the holiday, and Tiff shares some tips on how not to get scammed online if you’re looking for a date. Plus, Nicole recounts one of her best dating scam stories OF ALL TIME. Also, in the Kardashian Korner: Kim and Kanye’s v suspiciou...
Everyone's talking about #Megxit, so we had to give the people what they wanted. Nicole and Tiffany got a real life British person (and good friend), Rachel Richardson, to stop by and clue us in. Rachel's bombshell theory: Meghan and Harry tried to scam the queen--and failed. We explore the scammy beginnings of the monarchy itself and dissect where Meghan Markle and Prince Harry went wrong in having their cake and eating it too. (O...
The day has finally come for Tiff and Nicole to discuss if art’s a scam. Inspired by that GD banana on a wall at Art Basel, your fearless hosts are brave enough to say what everyone else won’t: yeah, duh, art’s a scam. Well. Art’s not a scam. The art world is a scam. Placing a monetary value on art is a scam. But art? Art’s tite. Allow us to explain. Also, in the Kardashian Korner, Kanye paints himself silver to further entic...
It’s easy to call Taylor Swift the girl who cried wolf — we’re not really sure when we can believe her. #Snakegate? Helleaux. So, yeah, sorry if we immediately thought this whole Scooter Braun thing was just another Taylor scam… But! Friend of the pod and WORLD’S BIGGEST SWIFTIE Lizzy Hale stops by to explain the feud, and you might be surprised at the details. (Tiff and Nicole were…) Also, in the Kardashian Korner, we kongratulate...
On this episode, friend of the pod and SCAMMED's white tech bro correspondent Peter Conforti joins Tiff and Nicole to break down the spectacularly shameful (and equal parts beautiful) WeWork scam. How does a real estate company parading around Silicon Valley as a technology company lose more than half of its (potential) value in just over a month? All the stars have to align....and, damn, did they align. At the time of publication ...
Soooo, Trisha Paytas is trans? At least she said so on YouTube...kind of. Tiff recaps a handful of Trisha's previous clickbait scams and the (several) mixed messages in her latest video. We have a lot of questions. Also, Nicole throws a flag on the Kardashian Kloset, the Kardashian-Jenners' latest grift to steal our hard-earned money. (Reselling their used Fashion Nova pieces for literally the same retail price? Oh yes they did.) A...
Elle and Ellen Woods reporting for duty. Nicole gives us an update on the college admissions scandal, one of the best of the year. And Tiff shares all the sus details of her recent stint with the legal system, begging the question: Is jury duty a scam? (Hint: Kinda sorta. A lot people out here suing people are scamming, that's for sure.) Plus, Kim is really trying us in the Kardashian Korner this week.
This episode was a long time coming. Tiffany, #1 Britney Spears enthusiast, fan, admirer and defender, breaks down in exquisite, well-researched detail why this whole narrative about her being crazy is a big fat fucking scam - a very lucrative scam! Your entire foundational understanding of one of the biggest pop stars in the world is about to shift — prepare yourself (and let's please #FreeBritney). Also, Nicole googled the Caroli...
OK, hear us out: maybe the whole plastic straws thing is a scam. (Not that Tiff and Nicole don't love the turtles...) Nicole attempts to make the case with the few hours of research she did right before recording this podcast, but honestly she was out for blood and probably only clicked on links that underscored her argument. Starbucks is shaking. And Tiff lets us in on Gwyneth Paltrow and her vag scam, which is not a place t...
Welp, it looks like everyone's favorite lingerie brand for sexy babies, Victoria's Secret, isn't doing their annual fashion show their year. (Two words: bye, bitch.) On the heels of this devastating news, Nicole and Tiff dive into why VS is so damn tone deaf and the very scammy corporate beginnings of the Body Positivity movement. Spoiler alert: brands are just trying to sell you stuff.
How do we remain body positive, or even...
There was something pretty fishy about that whole branded Instagram engagement, right? (Especially since Melissa Casey Fuchs, the girl who got engaged, is the head of Brand Partnerships at Goop...) Tiffany and Nicole thought so, and they brought out the big guns -- Roxy, a therapist! -- to dissect the whole thing. Also on this episode:
- Who's getting scammed the most on social media? (It's us. Congrats, you played yourself.)<...
After a brief hiatus, Tiff and Nicole fired up the mic again. Scams on the docket this week: emails from the Illinois Dept. of Revenue (turns out they weren’t a scam, Nicole owes them $150), Britney Spears’ conspiracy that the paparazzi are photoshopping celebrity pictures, portable JUUL chargers, Big Tobacco’s stake in JUUL, Tiffany’s future career as a flavor chemist (she majored in Public Relations), and a much needed Kardashian...
Nicole and Tiffany are back with more scams for you to avoid! (You're welcome.) Nicole warns us all about a new bible company, Alabaster, that's selling hip, mason jar-inspired, made-for-Instagram bibles for $223. (Wait, aren't bibles supposed to be accessible to everyone?) And after watching about three minutes of Kanye West's Sunday Service at Coachella, Tiffany has a couple things to say about his $225 "church merch." Oh, Nicole...
This week in scams: Tiff warns us about a future scam (Kourtney Kardashian's POOSH) while Nicole's jury's still out on Kim Kardashian's law kareer.
