The Friends United Recovery began in the late 2000s with a handful of people plotting out an elaborate scam that would take advantage of those who already fell victim to con artist Richard Byrne and the Friends United Network. Posing as a philanthropist, Richard collected funds for projects that would never play out. He was eventually caught by the FBI when he began selling illegal shares in the FUN parent company. Where our journey begins, Barbara, Rose, Carlene, and Reverend Enoch are introducing Richard's victims to Jerry, another supposed victim of the FUN scam. Jerry is supposedly an extremely wealthy banker who lost more than anyone else to FUN, and claims to want to help others recover the money they lost while he makes back his millions. It quickly becomes very apparent Jerry isn't interested in investing anyone's money, but keeping it for himself. Let's enjoy, and more importantly learn to recognize evil-doers from these calls as this decade long scam plays out.
