Catch Me If You Con: The Misadventures of Mark Acklom
Manage episode 439330257 series 3573952
In episode 18 we meet grade A dickhead Mark Acklom, a man with more personas than a secondary school drama club. From fake MI6 agent to high-flying (or should we say, fraud-flying) businessman, this episode takes you through Acklom’s greatest hits—like the time he got a mortgage at 16, convinced a woman he owned an airport, or that minor incident of a €14 million property scam.
Spoiler: If someone claims to be James Bond, they're probably not.
Also, hear why Rachel is adamant that one day she’ll join a cult (it’s only a matter of time!) and why Hannah is very protective of her signature, refusing to sign anything!
And remember - the moral of this story: Never trust a spy!
