Picture this: You found the love of your life on Tinder. Amazing, right? At least, until he cons you out of thousands of dollars.

What sounds like a nightmare is actually a true story, and it's the focus of Netflix's upcoming documentary film, The Tinder Swindler. The titular Tinder Swindler has conned women across the world, and he is a fugitive from justice in several countries. Now, three of his victims are trying to get revenge.

Will they win out against the man they fell for? Or will they uncover darker secrets along the way? We'll find out when this true-crime documentary film from the producers of The Imposter and Don’t F**k with Cats’ debuts next month on Netflix.

The Tinder Swindler hits Netflix Feb. 2.
