Stripped of Dignity – A Dozen Years of Restaurant Phone Scams
On this episode of Super SUS, we take a deep and sobering look into one of the most unsettling and manipulative scams in recent history—the strip search phone call hoax. Over the course of more than a decade, this scam affected fast-food employees across multiple states, revealing a chilling abuse of authority and trust.
We focus on the heart-wrenching experience of Louise Ogborn, an 18-year-old McDonald’s employee whose life was turned upside down by a horrifying hoax call. Under the direction of someone posing as law enforcement, Louise was subjected to a degrading strip search and assault at her workplace—a place she should have been able to feel safe. We also examine how this case connects to others like it, the tireless police investigation, and the eventual trial of the alleged mastermind, David Richard Stewart.
Together, we unravel how this calculated exploitation of power dynamics and human psychology exposed glaring systemic failures in major corporations and their responsibility to protect employees. It’s a story that’s difficult to hear but necessary to discuss, as it highlights the pressing need for greater institutional accountability and awareness of coercive abuse tactics.
This episode may be heavy, but we believe it’s vital to share—both as a warning to recognize and resist manipulation and as a collective call for change.
