Swindled Never After: How We Survived (and You Can Spot) a Relationship Scammer

From two survivors of the "Tinder Swindler" comes a powerful resource that gives readers practical guidance to evade romance fraud and similar scams. Millions of people who turn to digital social networks for friendship, connection, or love wind up devastated—and not just emotionally. Fraudsters doling out online harassment, destroying reputations, and causing their victims to rack up crushing debt are on the rise, and dismissive authorities and institutions are leaving said victims desperate. Now, in their own words, Cecilie Fjellhøy and Pernilla Sjöholm—two targets of con man Simon Leviev, the subject of Netflix's "The Tinder Swindler"—delve into how their harrowing experiences of betrayal and financial ruin at the hands of a master manipulator have impacted their lives. But this is no memoir; it's an educational cautionary tale and call to action. Interwoven with their candid personal narratives are expert insights into the mechanics of romance scams, the psychological toll on victims, and the loopholes in banking and cybercrime laws that leave injured parties unprotected. In this book, educators, law enforcement professionals, financial institutions, and laypeople alike will find invaluable guidance for identifying and addressing these pervasive crimes. An unflinching look at emotional fraud and the systemic failures that allow it to flourish, Swindled Never After is a must-read for anyone navigating the minefield of modern dating as well as those working to safeguard others from falling prey to the ill-intentioned.
