Parents' Guide to Love Con Revenge

LOVE CON REVENGE features people who were victimized by their former romantic partners and are choosing to fight back. The six-episode true crime docuseries features Cecilie Fjellhoy, who appeared on the documentary The Tinder Swindler after being scammed out of $250K by a man who is responsible for defrauding women in Europe to the tune of $10 million using an elaborate Ponzi scheme. Now Fjellhoy, along with private investigator Brianne Joseph, are meeting with folks (and in some cases their families) in the United States who were duped by their significant others, and have lost large amounts of cash and are in major debt. From a woman in Nashville, Tennessee who was conned out of almost $25K by a boyfriend who claimed to be using the money to build a mental wellness business, to a man in Seattle, Washington, whose girlfriend fleeced him out of $100K by lying about having multiple sclerosis, the series offers details about how each con artist was able to manipulate their victim(s) for money and support, and, in most cases, get away with it. Meanwhile, Fjellhoy and Joseph scramble to locate each scammer, and when possible, create an opportunity to confront or talk to them. Efforts to get the police to treat what happened to their victims as serious crimes rather than civil offenses are also made. There's no guarantee that these fraudsters will be punished for what they've done, or that the money they took under false pretenses will be returned. But Fjellhoy and Joseph make sure to expose them for who and what they really are to the viewing public while giving their targets a chance to take control over their situations.
