In this gripping episode, we dive into the unsettling true story of Paul Davis, a 43‑year‑old man from Southampton, UK, who was duped into believing he was in a romantic relationship with none other than Jennifer Aniston. Over a chilling five‑month period, Paul was bombarded with AI‑generated deepfake videos, faux driver’s licenses, flirty voice notes, and romantic texts from a sophisticated scammer who called him “my love.” The fraudster eventually convinced him to send £200 in non‑refundable Apple gift cards to pay for Jennifer’s so‑called “Apple subscriptions.”

In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into the controversy surrounding the name Lucifer, as chosen by Dan and Mandy Sheldon for their newborn son. The couple from Chesterfield, Derbyshire, faced unexpected resistance when a registrar at Derbyshire County Council attempted to dissuade them from registering the name, citing its association with the Devil and potential future challenges for their child.
