Episode 28
Thursday, 18 December, 2025
Part 2 of Harry's conversation, Harry sits down with Javier, host of the acclaimed PRETEND true crime podcast, to dissect the decades-long romance scam at the center of The Rachel Cancer Scam. Javier binge-listens to ten episodes in one sitting and comes in hot with the question nobody has asked Harry directly: “Are you still in love with the woman you’re calling a con artist?”What follows is a raw, investigative breakdown of Rachel – a woman who went from beauty pageants and escort work to becoming a high-level scammer capable of running multiple cons at once:fake cancer, fake domestic violence, fake suicide attempts, fake friends, fake careers as a lawyer, trauma nurse, and helicopter pilot, and a trail of devastated partners, coworkers, and children.Javier and Harry talk like two investigators comparing notes – timelines, receipts, phone records, skip traces. Javier pushes for proof. Harry brings text messages, calls, screenshots, and years of documentation that show Rachel isn’t just a liar… she’s operating at the level of a female Frank Abagnale, running simultaneous scams for attention, control, and status, not just money.This episode is more than a wild true crime story. It’s a cautionary tale about romance scams, narcissistic abuse, and how even the most self-aware, “street-smart” person can be out-skilled by someone whose entire personality is built around deception.👉 Watch the video version of this interview on YouTube:youtube.com/@TheRachelCancerScam🎧 Listen to Javier’s edited version of this interview on the PRETEND podcast and give him a follow wherever you get your true crime podcasts.#TheRachelCancerScam #TheMessengerPodcast #TrueCrimePodcast #PretendPodcast #RomanceScam #CancerScam #ConArtist #NarcissisticAbuse #CoerciveControl #Gaslighting #FraudStories #FemaleConArtist #TrueCrimeCommunity #InvestigativePodcast #StorytellingPodcast #EmotionalAbuse #RelationshipScam #FakeCancer #FakeNurse #FakePilot #HighLevelScammer #CautionaryTale #SurvivorStorySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
