Love Con Revenge Trailer: Romance Scam Victims Get Help From The Tinder Swindler Star In Netflix Series

Have you been the victim of a romance scam? Help is on the way — courtesy of Netflix.

Cecilie Fjellhøy, one of the victims duped by the titular con man in the Netflix doc The Tinder Swindler, teams up with a private investigator to help other victims in Love Con Revenge, a six-episode docuseries premiering Friday, Sept. 5 on the streamer.

In the trailer, which you can watch below, Fjellhøy explains that when The Tinder Swindler became a worldwide sensation, women began reaching out to her with their own stories of being conned by manipulative Romeos. "These scammers have been getting away with this for way too long," she decides, so she and private eye Brianne Joseph hit the road to investigate these men who are "almost too good to be true," confront them on camera and find some measure of justice for the women involved.

"I never imagined my story would resonate the way it has," Fjellhøy said in a statement. "Since The Tinder Swindler, I've heard from people all over the world who've been targeted by criminals hiding behind love. Love Con Revenge is a way for me to use what I've learned to help others heal, reclaim their voices, their power, and their lives."

"Love Con Revenge uncovers the jaw-dropping scale of romance fraud — and the emotional and financial toll it takes on victims," creative director James O'Reilly added. "This is a truly modern crime that is exploding in the United States and around the world. It's been incredible to follow Cecilie and Brianne as they investigate these cases — to bring justice to the victims, and hold the perpetrators to account who've gotten away with this for far too long."
