Season 3 · Episode 11
Spectacular Cons
7.041mMarch 6, 2026
History is full of miracle cures, far-fetched products, and astonishing feats, but not all of them are legitimate. A miracle snake oil that cures all? A piece of the Brooklyn Bridge for sale? A marathon-winner who crosses the finish line without hardly breaking a sweat? These are the stories of some of history's most spectacular cons, each deception more unbelievable than the last.
