Laura, Jim and Lisa deconstruct SHOWTIME® Documentary Series “Love Fraud” by first introducing you to Tracy, Ellen and Sabrina, just some of the women who were targeted by Richard Scott Smith, a man who has dedicated his life to lovebombing, grooming and marrying women whilst simultaneously enabling and stealing their dreams, frequently, they say, leaving them with massive debt. Jim and Laura discuss Smith's behavior, and more importantly, we discuss how and why Smith keeps getting away with it and whether a group of women - who refuse to be "victims" - can stop him?

This episode was done in partnership with and is sponsored by SHOWTIME® and the new four-part SHOWTIME® Documentary Series Love Fraud, directed by Academy Award nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady.
