Living here is like being in the middle of smoke and mirrors. Everyone presents themselves as one way, and invariably you find out it's not the truth. Orange County, California, is fertile ground for con artists like Lizzie Mulder.
Lizzie definitely wanted to be somebody that was seen. She was very charismatic. She came in and she said all the right things. She had the right look. It seemed like she was doing a good job. She really is doing a good job of scamming everyone she meets using a wide array of confidence tricks and cutting edge technology. And I'm thinking I'm talking to a guy overseas that wants to invest into my winery.
And really, I'm talking to that woman that is just scamming me the whole time. And it sounded like a man.
It did. It sounded just like a man. When all was said and done, how much money did she get from you? $291,000. She got me for like $285,000 altogether. $285,000? Yeah. How much money did your boss end up losing? Millions. She crippled us badly. We are facing bankruptcy because of her. There's so much more about Lizzie that goes into the level of...
Diabolical, sociopathic behavior. Her actions completely sickened me. There were tears. I mean, it was just, I've just never seen the sort of devastation like that. You have no regard for anyone but yourself. Lizzie, you're a horrible person. I'm Jonathan Walton, host of Queen of the Con, season two, The O.C.
