The Tinder Swindler

Anyone else watch this doc on Netflix? Thought it was pretty funny. Basically a guy is scamming women on Tinder by pretending to be the son of a billionaire diamond mogul then tricking them into giving him money.

I may have to check it out.

Bump. Was an incredibly intricate scam. I kept watching episode 1 thinking, where's the con? I order for all of this to be a lie, it would have to be an extremely expansive, well thought out and perfectly executed ponzi scheme. And it turns out it was! And when the investigators go to his depressing ass flat in Israel and you see his hunchback mother, you realize how said and pathetic his real life was, and why he desired to get out of it no matter the cost. 

 

Also, note I watched it because I was familiar with the production company that made it. So if you liked this, you've got to watch Don't fug With Cats. Spoiler: it's not about cats. It's about the most vile, fuged up poo happening in the darkest corners of the Internet, and an insanely compelling murder mystery.
