About Johnathan Walton

Some people play golf on the weekends. I hunt con artists. But it wasn’t always that way. I used to think I could never get scammed. I’m way too smart for that. I’ve got a degree from journalism school. And I read tons of newspapers and books. I know what’s going on in the world. There’s just no way a scammer could outsmart me, right?

Wrong.

Because con artists don’t outsmart you at all. They “out-feel” you. They use your emotions to gain entry into your life so they can rob you. After bringing my con artist to justice (despite the fact that police initially turned me away and told me what she did to me was not a crime!!!) hundreds of victims of other con artists ― inspired by my tale of triumph and vindication ― began contacting me asking for help bringing their con artists to justice. So I started helping them. It’s become a hobby of mine ― kind of a pastime. Really ... an obsession.

I’m now investigating a couple dozen cases circling the globe, involving some of the most despicable con women and con men “working” today. And started a youtube channel to teach people what these professional con artists look like. And how easily they can inject themselves into your life and rob you blind.

I would have seen all the red flags waving wildly from a mile away and I would have crossed the street when I saw my con artist coming. I didn’t believe something like this could ever happen to me. But I was wrong. Don’t make the same mistake I did.
