Filthy Ritual – Podcasts about scams and scam artists are all the rage and this new story fronted by Hannah Macguire and Suruthi Bala, the hosts of the British Podcast Award winning series RedHanded, is a compelling one.
It’s about Juliette D’Souza, a woman who lived in Hampstead and claimed to be a spiritual healer. She manipulated her victims into handing over large quantities, in the belief that her links to the spiritual world would solve all her problems, and then would threaten them if they did not follow her precise instructions. She gained more than £1 million in the process, whilst wreaking havoc on her victim’s lives.
