kylaraingress: Angie in front of Richard III poster (Default)
In this recommendation, a telephone scammer makes a terrible mistake. He calls Alex Goldman.

This recommendation is actually a two-parter, two episodes from the podcast
Reply All, produced by Gimlet Media. This is another recommendation from the Bello Collective e-newsletter. 

Episode
102, "Long Distance", and it's 'sequel', episode 103, "Long Distance, Part II", delves into the world of tech support phone scams, and is a wild ride from beginning to end. 

I found it fascinating as a journalist, and found it somewhat hilarious as someone who's done first level IT phone support. Alex Goldman has a tenacity about him that is admirable, and he is determined to get to the bottom of a scam call he gets. Where it ends up is a tale best heard.
