Deceived is a captivating crime series that follows the extraordinary real-life stories of people who have been deceived by individuals they trusted. The series premiered on TV One in January 2013 and ran for one season of six episodes. Each episode is packed with tense reenactments, interviews, and photos, showcasing spine-chilling true crime stories of deception and betrayal that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats. The show features real-life cases and explores the motivation and tactics behind the deception, leaving viewers to speculate about how they would have handled the situation.

The series is presented by Richard Meiman, an American actor, and television host known for his roles in popular television series like The Bold and the Beautiful and Glee. Meiman takes on a sobering role in Deceived as he lends his voice to narrate the series, which creates an eerie atmosphere that sets the tone for each episode.

Throughout the series, Meiman is joined by a cast of experts, including Saima Huq, a New York-based clinical psychologist who specializes in assessing and treating people involved in high-conflict disputes. Huq provides insight into the psychological profile of the deceivers and highlights the emotional impact that this kind of betrayal has on the victims.

Moreover, the show features Dorothy Meyers, a Los Angeles-based private investigator who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in unraveling the hidden motives and secrets of the deceivers. Meyers' keen eye for detail and her ability to connect the dots provides valuable insight into how the deception started and most importantly, how it was perpetuated.

One episode of Deceived follows the story of Natasha Harris, a single mother raising her two children in Alabama. The episode explores what happens when a person you trust the most betrays you in the worst way possible. Natasha discovered that her fiancé, David, had lied to her about having a job and it eventually became clear that he was a con artist.

With nowhere to turn and no source of income, Natasha was forced to rely on David for everything, including him creating a fake job offer letter to keep her from leaving him. It wasn't until Natasha's car was repossessed, and she couldn't pay the rent that the truth was revealed.

In another episode, viewers meet Beverly McCallum, a mother of two from California who was scammed out of $10,000 by a man she met online. Beverly met a man online who seemed like the perfect match, and they quickly hit it off. However, their budding romance took a turn when he started asking her for money.

Beverly loaned him money, but it wasn't long before he asked for more. Desperate to help him, she borrowed money from her family and friends, but the man never paid her back. Beverly was eventually forced to confront the truth that she had been the victim of a scam.

The deceivers in each episode have different motives, from financial gain to emotional blackmail, but their actions all have devastating consequences for their victims. Deceived serves as a warning to viewers about the dangers of being too trusting and accepting people at face value without verifying their claims.

Overall, Deceived is a well-executed and intriguing true crime show that provides viewers with a glimpse into the minds of the perpetrators and the emotional trauma suffered by the victims. It is a must-watch for true crime enthusiasts who want to learn more about the different ways in which people can be deceived.
