69 episodes
12 hours ago
Some stories are too good to be true. And some lies are too good not to believe.

Hoax Hunters is your daily deep dive into the anatomy of a lie. We track down history's most audacious frauds, forgeries, and fakes—from the lost princess who wasn’t lost, to the petrified giant that captivated a nation, to the Martian invasion that never happened.

Each episode is a forensic investigation into a single, masterful deception. We’ll meet the brilliant con artists, the charismatic cult leaders, and the scientific frauds who managed to fool the world.

But the real mystery isn't how they did it. It's why we fell for it. Using the science of persuasion and the study of human psychology, we expose the mental shortcuts and hidden biases that make all of us vulnerable.

This isn't just about the past. Understanding the blueprint for deception is your best defense against the misinformation of today.

Follow Hoax Hunters to uncover the truth behind the world's most fascinating lies.

Wash Wash: Inside the BLACK MONEY SCAM That Fools Millions
What if you were offered a chance to turn $10,000 into a million, using nothing but a special chemical and a box of "black money"? It’s a promise that has led to financial ruin, heartbreak, and even death for its victims.

Welcome to the shadowy world of the "black money scam," the shockingly successful confidence trick known globally as "wash-wash" or the infamous "419 scam." We take you deep inside the modus operandi of this advance-fee fraud, where victims are convinced that real currency has been dyed black to avoid detection and all they need to do is pay for the "magic" chemical that will wash it clean.

But this isn't just a street-level con. We uncover how the wash-wash business in countries like Kenya often operates as a massive criminal syndicate, allegedly involving powerful politicians and corrupt police who use it for large-scale money laundering. We expose how these scam artists use sophisticated psychological manipulation, from preying on cultural beliefs with fake spiritual healers to weaving intricate romance scams, to bleed their targets dry.

This is a story of devastating consequences and a dark reinvention of global capitalism, an illicit trade so vast it has the FBI and other international agencies in a constant battle. This is the definitive guide to one of the most persuasive and destructive cons on the planet.

Ready to learn the secrets of the world's most notorious scammers so you can protect yourself and your family? Subscribe now and share this essential episode. What you hear might just save someone a fortune.
