I've yet to watch this but who would fall for this?

Interesting story anyway. Also interesting that he is free man in Israel.

Not sure what their extradition laws are...

A lot of lonely women will fall for guys like these.

There's always the brilliant English physics dude who thought Denise Milani was his girlfriend:

The Netflix stream was watchable. It proved that if you loan out money, which these women were doing, you may not get it back. Moral: don’t borrow money to give/loan to others.

He sounds like a world class user and narcissist. This kind of person usually tells you early in the relationship what kind of character they have. It’s up to the other person to pay attention and make decisions; “Yes, he’s a jerk, but he’s fun”
“Yes, he lies all the time, but....”

Dear Women:

The minute, no second, your online Romeo asks you for money, say goodbye and block his email address. Stop being saps, patsies, mugs, marks, targets, easy pickings, gullible, rubes, etc.

I watched this. I was struck how these very good looking women could fall for a swarthy-looking skeeze ball like that, but there WAS all the money, fabulous trips and stuff. Each one was paying for those trips with the next sucker.

I was struck how openly, almost happily they talked about it discussing all the payouts they made and the tricks they fell for UNTIL it dawned on me that the three were very likely made whole $-wise by Netflix on this for doing the series. In the end, it looks like the swindler is stuck in Israel and cut off from Tinder-type scam access and having to live the life he deserves now. I’m glad the women were able to do something about it and maybe get some of their money back.

If you've spent the past few days binge-watching The Tinder Swindler, you're not alone.

Can you "binge-watch" one 2 hour episode?
