The Tinder Swindler is a documentary film directed by Felicity Morris and released on Netflix. The documentary tells the story of a conman who used the dating application Tinder to connect with women who he then emotionally manipulated into financially supporting his lavish lifestyle on the pretext he needed the money to escape his "enemies." The story is being told in a very suspenseful way.
