What a wild story. Whenever I see a film with this kind of subject matter, there's always a certain amount of lack of understanding about what kind of person could do such a thing. Kind of crazy that even after the women went to a competent "biggest in Norway" newspaper, the photographers had such bad ops abilities that our Swindler noticed them right away.

I was one of those who wondered, how on earth do people _still_ get scammed by these con artists of dating scene; but the insane lengths these criminals go through to get money completely caught me off-guard.

A detailed story told by a swindler's victims, and technically the criminal himself, with the absolutely _harrowing_ voice messages he sent. Despite the length of nearly two hours, I was engaged and invested all the way. I felt the sadness, frustration and fear of these women. This documentary is doing a favor to everyone, who might benefit from knowing one of the patterns these scammers use, and everyone, who is unable to see this problem existing in the first place.

This is a really well put together documentary. One thing that had me suspicious about it was _the title_ of it. I really didn't believe this was going to be good based on that alone, but I was happy to be proven wrong.

The ladies of this film have been able to pay off their debts with the help of a GoFundMe -campaign. The con artist has been arrested (_at the time of this review_).
