Scam Goddess

A delightfully subversive essay collection from Laci Mosley, host of the award-winning �Scam Goddess� podcast, about the frauds, cons, and schemes that make up our world�and how the scammer mindset has affected her own upbringing, career, friendships, love life, and more. ? From an early age, comedian and actress Laci Mosley knew her path would be riddled with scams, cons, robberies, and frauds. Little ones. Ones that didn�t hurt people or get her in trouble. But ones that would get her where she needed to be. �You see,� she writes, �everyone�s a scammer and everything�s a scam. Some people are better at it than others, but we all do it. The system wasn�t built for people like me. Scamming saved me and has taught me how to navigate a messy and unfair world while looking out for myself, too.� In Scam Goddess, Laci recounts how her scammer instincts have guided her throughout her life�from a religious childhood in rural Texas, to a stint as a city bartender at what might have been a drug front, to swindling her way past the gatekeepers of Hollywood�recounting the greatest true-crime scam stories that inspired her along the way. Whether it�s by the beauty industry, capitalism, or the people we date, we�re all getting scammed. In this book, Laci identifies the secrets to flipping the script and coming out ahead.
