Anna Delvrey tops them all, at least in ambition:

TL;DR socialite of unknown authenticity (but definitely real confidence woman) scams a bank, luxury hotels and restaurants, private air charter company, and the author of that article out of several hundred thousand dollars. Did not get the $20M she was hoping for, though.

The article that broke the Anna Delvey story was more thrilling: https://www.thecut.com/2018/05/how-anna-delvey-tricked-new-y... . She managed to exploit people's need for vanity...

There's talk of a movie deal, so, her brazenness might be rewarded after all.

Vanity fair initially broke the store, the author was scammed by Anna Delvey.
