The Rachel Cancer Scam

by The Messenger

From Executive Producer Billy Bush, a shocking true story of heartache and heartbreak. One woman's heinous lies in the cancer con game of the century. Rachel spun an elaborate web of deceit, harrowing tales of a cancer battle, the loss of a child and the invention of high-stakes professions. All the while she meticulously concealed her 22 year marriage, cloaking her real life in layers of elaborate lies.

I was drawn to this story exactly 1 year after exiting and surviving my 3 year relationship with a narcissist. A relationship that not only nearly destroyed me, But one in which I lost myself. Hearing this story made me feel less alone in the world of being victimized by a narcissist. It’s a wonderfully articulated story, deeply rooted in obvious pain and suffering to the victim. If you’re into true crime, this is a good one. To the woman who is the star of the show, as I’m sure you sneak in and stalk the story in true narcissism style, get some help girl. No one feels sorry for you!

This is an amazing podcast. The host present the facts in a methodical, gripping and engaging manner. As a listener, I can feel his journey of pain, confusion, and trauma. This is a courageous podcast and necessary podcast. Well done!

This podcast drew me in almost immediately. I binge listened to every episode in one day. Harry’s story is so well narrated and told into this format. I cannot believe that people like Rachel can walk around and live in society with the rest of us and seemingly have no conscience whatsoever. She doesn’t seem to care about her actions and who they hurt. I really hope there’s a season two and I can’t wait for it.

I had some first hand knowledge of the story, but this podcast is a deep dive and the “I can’t believe she did this” moments just kept coming! Loved it!

I love scam podcasts and have listened to many. I thought the premise of this story sounded interesting. I listened to 2 episodes and although I wanted to know what happened I stopped listening because it was so hard to follow. The author adds in so many asides and makes it a “woe is me” story. I feel bad for the person who this happened to but the listeners are hear to listen to the story. Would love to hear the story in an edited version!

I feel like this would have been better told with a different host. While he has a great radio voice, it’s a little too monotone for a true crime podcast. I found myself tuning out a lot. Also, he’s too close to the story and there was a lot of repetitive info. The story is there, it’s just not well executed for a podcast.
