Episode 136: What If You Find Out Australia's Biggest Con Man Is Your Boyfriend? The Lessons and the True Cost of Broken Trust – with Tracy Hall | The Tim Castle Show
In this gripping episode, Tim Castle sits down with Tracy Hall, author, keynote speaker, and former global marketing executive to explore the shocking true story behind her memoir and story, The Last Victim.
After a 25-year career leading brand and marketing for companies like eBay, GoDaddy, and WooliesX, Tracy’s life took a devastating turn when she fell victim to one of Australia’s most notorious con men, a serial fraudster who manipulated 15 victims out of $7.6 million.
Tracy was his final target, losing $317,000 and, for a time, her ability to trust.
But this conversation isn’t just about loss, it’s about resilience, rebuilding, and reclaiming power. Tracy opens up about the psychology of scams, the neuroscience of trust, and how even the smartest people can fall prey to manipulation in the age of AI, deepfakes, and digital deception.
Together, Tim and Tracy unpack:
💥 How scammers weaponize emotion, urgency, and authority bias
💥 Why “scammers don’t hack systems - they hack people”
💥 The difference between healthy and dangerous vulnerability
💥 How to build “trust by design” inside your brand and business
💥 The mindset shifts to move from victim to victory
Tracy’s message is a powerful reminder that while we can’t always control what happens to us, we can control how we respond and rebuild.
Now Tracy speaks to global brands about trust, fraud and designing systems that outsmart the fraudsters by understanding how human psychology works.
