https://blog.oniciamuller.com/scamsss-ep210 Devin takes the wheel this episode to talk about two stories that have been bothering him for some time. $18,000 is about how much Devin has left to pay for the college degree he earned twenty years ago, but some people spend that much on “invisible sculptures” in Italy. Onicia talks him off the ledge for the next story about a Danish artist who literally called his show “Take the Money and Run.” A lot has happened since this story was trending last year, but we're still not sure how to categorize it.

https://blog.oniciamuller.com/scamsss-ep209 Comedian and producer Janíce V. Rodriguez joins Onicia this week to discuss how microdosing is a swindle but with two different case studies with very different outcomes. Devin shares his thoughts, too, about how drugs were only made illegal because the government wanted to police communities of color. And hippies. Pivoting to a different kind of drug that actually has fewer benefits than the fun kind, Onicia and Devin talk about multivitamins. They're poorly regulated and not nearly as good for you as we've been led to believe all these years. But it's a huge industry and people spend way too much money on them.

https://blog.oniciamuller.com/scamsss-ep208 Podcaster, librarian, and consultant Joyce Hagen-McIntosh joins Onicia and Devin this week because she and Devin have a lot in common and all three of them love books. They were so appalled at the idea of privatizing libraries that it threatened to take over the episode, but they managed to pull it back, play a game, and have a fun time as always. Squibler is a writing app where if you stop typing for more than five seconds, everything you've written disappears.

https://blog.oniciamuller.com/scamsss-207 Onicia and Devin are by themselves this week to puzzle over two different business ideas that look like they're supposed to help but at what cost? In Personnel Concepts' case, ten dollars! But that $10 is the result of being scared into thinking they're the government. Our listeners stuck being office drones might be familiar with Klaviyo.

https://blog.oniciamuller.com/scamsss-ep206 Onicia and Devin are joined by comedian Angie McMahon this week to discuss all kinds of food scams, like cooking, restaurant culture, and tipping. Angie knows what it's like to work in service, and Devin has worked in too many restaurants! From drunk customers to cheap customers, they cover all the bases. Devin attacks restaurants themselves as a scam, since they're the only business you can open with zero qualifications, and Onicia calls out the trending idea that cooking is a scam when takeout and delivery cost so much and are being taken over by apps run by greedy tech bros.

https://blog.oniciamuller.com/scamsss-ep205 Writer, director, and producer Kafi Kareem joins Onicia and Devin from Trinidad and Tobago this week to discuss why some movies deserve to have ten (10!) entries in their franchises. Is that a scam? Or just savvy business? Moxie the Robot sounds like a good idea in theory. Who wouldn't want a little robot helper to teach kids how to socialize and/or learn things? But the robot gets your data and you're technically only renting it. Who wants to explain to their kid where their robot friend disappeared to when you can no longer afford the payments?

https://blog.oniciamuller.com/scamsss-ep204 Onicia and Devin go back to basics this week with no new guests, but plenty of stories. First up, somebody tried to scam Onicia!

https://blog.oniciamuller.com/scamsss-ep203 More scams! More guests! Onicia was scrolling through apartment listings recently at the time of recording, and Devin has lived in way too many apartments over a short period of time. Thankfully, that's all behind them, but they have a few questions! In addition to their highly misinformed opinions, you'll also get to hear the respected opinions of Daniel Rosehill. Devin and Onicia wonder briefly if the subjects are too depressing this week, but keep it light by talking about the worst roommates they've ever had.

In our second episode of season 2, Scams, Swindles, and Schemes has our first guest! You won't just get to hear Onicia and Devin's highly misinformed opinions, you'll also get to hear the respected opinions of Dr. Ada Cheng. Social media has once more inspired awful ideas about what it takes or means to get ahead in the workplace, and Devin and Onicia aren't afraid to possibly get controversial.

We're back! Scams, Swindles, and Schemes season 2 has officially begun! And we're picking back up right where we left off, with topics that are definitely not a trap for Devin. He is a veteran lotion user and has plenty of advice for those looking to buy! Onicia invites him to take a second, longer look at weaves.

Onicia got an ad for Suvie, a countertop kitchen robot. It's a 2 – part system. The Veggie and meat maker is $399 and the pasta/coffee maker is $399.

This episode's scam begins like so many others: with a mass email sent to the Promotions folder! Devin made the mistake of signing up for a “free” pitch meeting with a rando executive, but he forgot to read the fine print that stated he had to pay three hundred dollars if he wanted to actually pitch something in order to get lukewarm feedback.

Health care is a human right, but even those of us lucky enough to qualify for it through our jobs wonder how it got so complicated! Welcome to episode nine, where Devin shares some of the recent trials from his day job to make sure he stays healthy and keeps all of his teeth.

Billionaires are going into the stratosphere, and even they can report back on the wig lace featured in today's video! It's our eighth episode, and we've got another lifehack that actually works and more people inflating perceived value to desperately try and create actual value. Another “devoted listener” who will remain anonymous sent in a story about using a $5 birthday coupon for a salad bar to basically get a week's worth of food.

Alex Fasulos claims to make six figures working as a proofreader/ghostwriter on Fiverr. She presents all the usual materialistic “life goals” that finance gurus and other scam artists present: fancy cars, exotic trips, dream houses, etc. Devin and Onicia have both worked freelance gigs before, and neither of them think the math adds up here. Whenever you work as a full-time freelancer, you have a second full-time job: trying to get paid for freelance work! We owe a debt of gratitude for Daniel Rosehill for doing a lot of the leg work, and getting Alex to admit she uses a team to meet her ridiculous work claims (even if she doubles down on her ridiculous money claims). We've also got bonus content recorded for this episode!

Whatever kind of hot summer it is, it's too hot for more than one story! This week, we take an extended look at the outrageous claims of a social media influencer who claims to make six figures while working freelance jobs.

We're vaxxed, relaxed, and ready to discuss hacks! We made it to our sixth episode, and thought about celebrating with a workout before realizing it was pointless. Also, one of our loyal viewers wrote in with a story about a lifehack that was actually brilliant as it was useful!

We're having a smoother ride than most cyclists in the Tour de France! It's our fifth episode, and we celebrate by complaining about how our internet providers are scamming us and taking a closer look at business management “theories” that are basically common sense to any employee who's worked a non-executive job for more than a week.
