Jody Harris: Con Artist | Australian Crime Stories | S4E09 

F You Jhb b hoklnlll 😊. J

Couldn't have said it better.

@Wendy Magnuson I don't believe her for a second, i think she is just taking advantage of what's on offer and when she's out she'll continue on the same path with her experiences to her advantage.

@@SteveRadich1928 agreed. con artists like this are psychopaths...it isn't just serial killers but con artists are devoid of humanity.

@@SteveRadich1928 I totally agree. She will remain a nasty piece of work. If I'm not mistaken even the Good Lord says sorry is not enough, you have to make reparations.

@@SteveRadich1928 I wouldn't trust her ever...she might get the itch to con someone again...

@@SteveRadich1928 The problem is in my opinion: 1. You reap what you sow and 2. You create your own reality. What we all need is a respectable education, job and salary. Who can best provide that?

I agree.

100% agree. Did she brainwash the cops or is there something else going on?

So someone actually being rehabilitated is disappointing? How strange.

out in fifteen months or less

while some with accessory to murder get even less.

Four years is a long ass time

She nwo ha sa permanent record and lost every single thing g she gained here plus four years is a really long time if you have to spend it in prison

@@katbrown1449 lol

Typical Australia, young guy here just got 9months home detention for raping 3 school girls. Go figure that one out!!!

Exactly! I’m always amazed at how these people get such a light sentence.. if it was me? … I’d probably get the death penalty 🤣🤣

@@jillianpw9789 There is no death penalty in Australia. There isn't quite the thirst for locking people up forever or putting them to death that exists in places like the U.S.

Good question. Some of the people involved in this report were just flaky. There is something off about this entire report.

Maybe so the mouse would come back to get some cheese.

Good point!

That was truly a pathetic comment

@@elizabethmountain525 thank you

I THINK HE ADMIRE HER CUNNING... CAUSE HAS A POLICE OFFICER, THOSE ARE NOT WORDS YOU USE TO COMMEND SOMEONE'S PAST CRIMINALITY TO THE WHOLE INTERNET WORLD.

That poor woman. I wanted to hear more about her ordeal. I wonder if she sought some civil penalty against Qantas for humiliating her and sicking the police on her.

It’s what her mom did and she learned this as of Early childhood…imagine the conversations in that house. She’s an good actress.

Agree but it does show where it all came from.

I've lived a life AT LEAST TWENTY TIMES HARDER - It turned me into someone who wanted desperately to help others and look after them, so I chose to study at University after school and entered the medical profession as a result, and I've never committed a single crime anywhere on the face of the planet; not so much as a speeding ticket!! You have circumstances beyond your control.... *BUT* THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES CAN ONLY AFFECT YOUR SUBSEQUENT FREE WILL TO MAKE CHOICES (IN PARTICULAR - BAD CHOICES!!) IF YOU *ACTIVELY DECIDE TO LET THEM!!!!* THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT OP - I COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!!

Hey. Sure. It's not an excuse but might help more quickly identify other possible heisters. Yes. We are not supposed to think badly immediately ...but if you saw someone with a knife or flashing money around... Just sayin.

exactly!

And then leave your handbag right there in front of them while you go to the rest room!!!!

Answer: A complete flake. And as a follow-up to the experience of identity theft, she places herself smack in the middle of a documentary video, to provide a blow by blow description of her own stupid actions. Should be too ashamed to make any of this known, and she provides all the details in a documentary. There is something wrong with this person.

@@ceceliaclarke264 Of course, she was paid a tidy sum to do this show. She wanted the money.

That’s right, blame the victim….. what’s the point of taking time out of your day to be so judgy? Feel good now?

@@DMR1010 it's more about taking steps to prevent yourself becoming a victim. There's scavengers and predators everywhere, it's a fact of life. This lady didn't protect her belongings. Years ago I walked home alone late at night after a club & got my bag grabbed off me by a guy who ran up behind me. I put myself in a vulnerable spot. I take full responsibility for that event.

Invalidates the whole documentary. A sexist documentarian can’t be fair.

Right! 💁🏼‍♀️ I thought it was just me that was thinking that!…😆🤣😂🤣😆…✌🏼🇨🇦

She ACTIVELY LIED TO HIM - Using the same SKILLS AS A MASTER CON ARTIST to fool him into BELIEVING SHE WAS TWENTY TWO!! (LIKE IT CLEARLY STATED!!) BUT YEAH, WHY ACKNOWLEDGE THE TRUTH OF A SITUATION, *IF YOU CAN INSTEAD IGNORE IT COMPLETELY AND IMPLY THAT SOMEONE, WHO DOESN'T DESERVE IT, IS A PEED-OH....?!?!* SHE CERTAINLY DIDN'T BEHAVE OR LOOK LIKE A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD, SHE CHOSE TO ACTIVELY LIE IN ORDER TO CONVINCE HIM SHE WAS, IN FACT, A FULLY CONSENTING ADULT OF MORE THAN FOUR YEARS STANDING - AND SHE IS A CONVICTED CON ARTIST OF THE HIGHEST ORDER AND A MASTER MANIPULATOR!!! *SIT AROUND WAITING TO FIND OFFENSE MUCH?!* ...I HOPE THAT WORKS OUT FOR YOU....

Those blokes in uniforms... Are as easily fooled.

@@kidsrmean8978 Not Really And I'm sure you are probably quite familiar with the Channels I would recommend?

@@kidsrmean8978 ​ fair enough question in my opinion. Real Crime and Real Stories have a few SA related crime episodes. I’m an international true crime enthusiast that resides in Australia. Iowegian had me 😂. Never heard that one before! Brilliant!

Mark" chopper" Reid. Loveable rogue

As an American, I can completely agree!

You're probably American. Also, she is out and hasn't reoffended.

Believe me in australia that's a lot, over here they normally receive a " good behaviour bond"

100000 per year... Earnings and free roof and food... Pffff

@@rogerwilco4736 yes it’s disgusting

@@rogerwilco4736 well, her parents got more for their drug business. so it depends on the laws. obviously selling drugs is considered a worse crime.

Yes, it was so unfair to that young woman. I hope Quantas made it up to her somehow.

@@kasperorganics-organiccott6881 I highly doubt it. No one is held accountable today.

Yes, exactly.

I don’t think you get much, you think it’s not traumatizing for a child to see their mother arrested just because the mother is guilty and you want her properly arrested and pj owned for her crimes? That’s juvenile af. You can want criminals caught and punished while recognizing that it’s bad for the children to see their mother being nabbed by police, that’s a breakdown of their reality.

@@M_SC Almost everybody is traumatised in some way, it is not an excuse to turn to crime.

@@M_SC She is sociopathic which is usually caused before age 5 not 11.

@@M_SC With the history Jody has, do ya think they'll ask her to come to the police station quietly and proper for the sake of the children? Next you'll say she loves her children as much as I do mine....

And just what country is "the govt." in??? Fraud charges in Commonwealth countries are filed by the Crown, not individuals. they have no say in it, but CAN make a police/RCMP report and provide the data. Maybe Texas??

Yeah, she didn’t deserve it but I’m surprised neither advice nor intuition made her behave differently. I’ve forgotten to take my wallet etc with me to the bathroom on planes but only by accident, I was taught by not mother to do so, and I read stuff about how to behave while travelling, and I understand if no one tells you, but I find her defence of the practice surprising.

Some of these comments are hilarious. "Restrain yourself from predatory, criminal behavior for a week, and receive a nice big prize." This is actually a good description of our modern world.

@@ceceliaclarke264 it worked for Hunter. They gave his dad the presidency when Hunter stopped sniffing coke off hookers' butts.

Me neither...too many cons

@@rehab5355 I always thought if kids can hack the Pentagon, I don't want any of my bank information online.

or joined a health club.

A master of disguise but there’s no hiding those ears, they should have given her identity away much sooner.

Let that be a lesson to us all.

Then let her lawyer mother use every loop-hole to set her free...schissch

Even the police to do their job...Justice!

Well Said 💯!

And, you take your bags to the bathroom with you, never leave it unguarded

. . . or leave your handbag unattended. This lady is as naive as they come.

@@karenturner7184 Absolutely. 35 years plus business and personal travel. If they want to leave their bags, take wallet

@@cq9882 Indeed 💯!

Glad you aren’t in any position of power over people’s loves. Joseph Stalin thought the same way and murdered millions of innocent people - people who he thought didn’t deserve to live. Be careful of your words … they are dangerous.

@@northerngirl4666 that's why in some societies, criminals have got more rights that victims and its because of people like you. What the he'll do you allow a person breaking innocent people and they end up as heroes?

Would be interesting to discover all of the answers to the questions which you have posed, but maybe not such a good idea . to publish the answers in a youtube forum.

So youre basically saying there's good and bad people... Whatever she does will never make her a good person, if she changes her ways that doesnt really matter because then you'll still bash her... I just dont get these ways of thinking... I feel people need "bad people" so you can think good things about yourself, how youve had bad things happen to you but you arent like her. Its just self serving thinking.

Much information can be found online, even back then. There are other ways to obtain information, by knowing who to call, who to pretend to be, and how to speak to them. I've done this to friends in order to demonstrate how easy it is so that they would be more careful, and even then, they don't believe anyone would do that. People are stupid, and gullible. You can't fix stupid.

There's lots of ways to access SSNs. As an educator, I had access to literally hundreds of children's birth certificates and SSNs. I could have stolen any that I pleased, held on to them for several years, and then created all sorts of fake IDs. About 15 years ago, when I accessed my safety deposit box at my bank, in the vault, in plain site, within reach were dozens of manila account folders. Without touching the folders, I could see identifying information printed on the tabs of the folders. I could have gleaned tons of information. (The records are no longer there). Anyone who works in the records department of doctor's offices or hospitals have access to full names, addresses, birthdates and SSNs. There. That's three ways, right off the top of my head. It is actually unbelievably easy.

@@synthiamcbride7194 Thank you. You have provided one excellent example. Others who have easy access to multiple social security numbers include: receptionists in doctors' offices; online customer service agents for banks; insurance agents; and agents who complete car registrations and photo ID services. As a person cleaning warehouses and office spaces I had easy access to thousands of social security numbers. Secretaries and managers would leave paystubs and other documents right out in full view. In the very recent past, I have cleaned office spaces with unlocked file cabinets containing thousands of customer files, all printed with social security numbers, birth dates, and addresses. In general, total lock down of physical and computer files just makes management of a business or agency too cumbersome. To a certain extent, we must go on trusting each other and hoping for the best. On the up side, we share our birth information and social security numbers all over the place, providing access to thousands of people in a year, with generally positive results. Most people with access show respect for what amounts to an honor system for receipt of information. We should all just watch out for online and telephone schemers who are pretending to belong in some legitimate category. There are red flags to watch for. For example, legitimate staffers will not ever initiate telephone or online requests for Social Security Numbers. Legit staffer will already be looking at this information, in response to a call from a consumer. Consumers of banking and other services need to be aware of certain red flags. Real bank employee will not initiate a call and then ask for a social security number. He or she should already know, and should be guarding this information.

@@synthiamcbride7194 Our provincial insurance agency demands you keep you registration original in your glove box. AND mechanic has access to your Drivers Lic. number, correct address, and my backyard guy hooked up cable and ran 100's of dollars on me when I was living in a completely different city, hadn't every lived at the hook up address, and it banged my credit rating. Took me a few years to sort it out.

lol

Thanks for teaching me a new word.i consider myself to be very well read yet I had never heard the word hyperthymestic.

@Annamarie Lewis I thought exactly the same thing 😆😐

There is much to criticize about the American justice system but watching true crime stories out of Europe and Australia makes me thankful that the U.S. actually punishes criminals instead of patting them on the head.
