Work for over 20 years accumulating superannuation only to have some fraud deceive & hoodwink you & leave you pennyless? Sounds a lot like marriage to me. But she got a 2-storey house not a prison sentence.
deplorable human being.! thank you for sharing your harrowing story. literally need to rely on instincts / sixth sense and eyes in the back of your head.! 🫣😬🤔 may your next chapters in life be full.! ☺️😊😄 ✌🏻🌏🇦🇺🤘🏻
What a tool, an easygoing, beautiful, intelligent woman & he only saw $$$ (not even much $$)! I can't imagine how humiliated & broken that would have made her feel💔
Possibly she is just respectful not to drag him into this. I think you're jumping to conclusions. From the story it seems that she was already divorced when she met Hamish.

Sorry for your loss but, one look at his face in a photo rang alarm bells for me.
All I could see ; predator , narcissist and psychopath.
It was never your fault Tracy. Psychopaths are the ultimate evil actors.
Really great interview. Thanks!
There is nothing wrong with falling in love and believing someone, What he done was so wrong. 😡👿 Great Video Gary
lol yes there is.
How can a judge be considered to be too on the side of the victims 😮

Not having enough time isn't an excuse for not researching a potential lover. The internet is fast and doesn't entail hiring a private detective!
Where did all the money go?
Isn’t that the $8M question.
@@paulinehiggins8239 🤣
Gambling. Where else.
Great podcasts
deplorable human being.!
thank you for sharing your harrowing story.
literally need to rely on instincts / sixth sense
and eyes in the back of your head.!
🫣😬🤔
may your next chapters in life be full.!

All I hear is the blame game, blah blah , typical female victim.. cmon Garry.
😂
Hello to all the misogynists in the comments 😂
💯
Your getting good at these podcasts
I remember coming across the woman from the tinder swindler from Europe and meeting her on another Dating website and weird case
Hamish McLaren. 😂😂😂Sounds like a bush rangers name or Ned Kelly’s partner.
Interesting that Tracy never mentioned her child’s father. Sounds like she broke it off and is having regret
Possibly she is just respectful not to drag him into this. I think you're jumping to conclusions. From the story it seems that she was already divorced when she met Hamish.
ccc sorry 😮
Not eldery ..older !
I Bet you have access to so many good stories and characters,
But you keep getting it so wrong.
Sounds like every woman - leaves the husband thinking the grass is greener on the other side... and then realising they've made a huge mistake.
Or another huge mistake, don't paint the first one as suddenly decent
@@BellaBennett-o7d But we can see statistically that women are leaving without any reason.
@@ichibot-app Looks like you were abandoned by a woman... It's the lamest of men who blame "all women" for their own failures.
