## Resource

At the turn of the new Millennia, a pair of unlikely "friends" in Southern California came together in order to scam unassuming individuals who were already very much down on their luck who were looking for a hand up in just about any way they could get it. Both Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt had spent most of their adult lives making their money by running different scams over the years, most notably using their looks to their advantage on wealthy men when they were younger. But as time moved on, they had to adapt and come up with different ways to go about obtaining their income which would eventually lead them down an even darker road costing multiple people their lives.
