"Oh My Fraud" is a podcast where the true crime is shocking, gruesome, heinous, but with way fewer dead bodies. Hosted by Caleb Newquist, each episode explores fraud cases from petty swindles to corporate conspiracies, examining the people involved, their motives, methods, and how they spent the loot before it all came to a spectacular, inevitable end.© 2025 Fraud Takes, LLC Biografías y Memorias Crímenes Reales

    Meet the Fraud Victim-Turned-Vigilante
    Aug 13 2025

    When Johnathan Walton learned that his best friend had conned him out of nearly $100,000, his first instinct was a little unusual—he told anyone who would listen about what happened. The story that ensued consumed his life for several years, ultimately sending his career in unexpected directions, with a hit podcast, assisting other victims with their frauds, and now, his new book, Anatomy of a Con Artist.

    Meet the Podcaster Who Spills the Corporate Tea
    Jul 30 2025

    Caleb knew that if he could get Becca Platsky, the co-host of the Corporate Gossip Podcast, to come on Oh My Fraud, that they would have a lot to talk about. Becca and Caleb learn that they are kindred spirits, discussing their experiences not only as scorned CPAs, but as earnest gossip merchants.
