In the world of online scams, Scamanda emerges as a chilling reminder of how easily the truth can be twisted. Let’s dive into Lionsgate Sound’s podcast sensation, where the story of Amanda C. Riley’s deception unfolds, leaving listeners shocked and amazed.
What is the podcast about?
Amanda is a wife. A mother. A blogger. A Christian. A charming, beautiful, bubbly young woman who lives life to the fullest. But Amanda is dying, with a secret she doesn’t want anyone to know. She starts a blog detailing her cancer journey and becomes an inspiration, touching and captivating her local community as well as followers all over the world.

My review:
From the moment I started Scamanda, I was hooked! Host Charlie Webster introduced me to Amanda Riley, who conned over $100,000 from unsuspecting and caring donors. Each episode is more shocking than the last, unraveling layers of lies that are almost unbelievable.
Scamanda will keep you on the edge of your seat. It’s not just the scale of her deception that’s fascinating; it’s the intricate details and the way Webster reveals each and every aspect of her scam. The podcast is more than just a binge-worthy series; it’s a deep dive into the human psyche. This series is a standout, in my opinion. Listen as the story unravels—a story so shocking that you can’t believe it’s true!
[…] I first discovered Scamanda back in February, and I’ve been obsessed ever since! I’ve recommended it to everyone I know because the twists in Amanda’s con are just too insane to miss. And now, I’m so excited because ABC and Hulu are turning the story into a limited true crime series, set to premiere on October 9th. Trust me, if the podcast is any indication, this series is going to be a must-watch for true crime fans! […]
