Today on the James Alteger show. I hear that all the time and I will tell you, con artists don't outsmart you, con artists outfeel you. They use your emotion against you. They use your human nature against you. They trick you into caring about them or caring about a cause they've created out of whole cloth.
And then they use your caring, your love to manipulate you. Because once you're making decisions with your heart and not your head, you're as good as Khan. You know, I got Khand out of close to $100,000 helping an Irish heiress get her inheritance. And I want to punch myself in the face when I say that out loud.
But that's the truth. I have this video, her satanic ceremony where she's wearing like this black robe and she's wielding a giant silver knife and the candlelight flickers on the knife and she says, Oh Father Satan, I summon you. When I sent that to Northern Ireland, like, hey, this is what she's doing now, three months later, five US marshals show up at her door. This isn't your average business podcast, and he's not your average host. This is the James Alteger show.
