Malicious Life Podcast: The Hollywood Con Queen, Part 2

An investigative narrative details the years‑long Hollywood Con Queen scam by Hargobind Tahilramani, who impersonated industry power brokers to socially engineer and defraud film freelancers using fake domains, VOIP numbers, and Instagram personas; investigator Nicole Kotsianas linked multiple aliases through civil subpoenas and OSINT, bringing the FBI into the case and culminating in Tahilramani’s 2020 arrest in the UK and a 2023 ruling approving extradition to the U.S. on fraud and identity theft charges.
