The Tinder Swindler is a fascinating Netflix documentary about a serial  romance scammer who took each of his &quot;girlfriends&quot; for more than $100,000 each. In this episode,  we look at what we can learn from The Tinder Swindler, going beyond the easy &quot;blame the victim&quot; mentality to show how effective such scams can be, and to point out the individual red flags you should watch out for in any new romance.
