The Tinder Swindler: What to watch next if you loved the Netflix film
Buckle up
So, you've watched The Tinder Swindler, maybe more than once, so, now what? While you may be completely perplexed that someone like Simon Leviev even exists, chances are, there won't be any more out there like him, let alone any more TV shows made about them, right? Wrong.
For as long as we can remember, Netflix has always been the place to go to find weird and wonderful telly. From Don't F**k With Cats (which if you couldn't tell, comes from the same makers as The Tinder Swindler) to the infamous lockdown obsession Tiger King, don't be fooled in thinking you've run out of things to watch.
Netflix has a whole back catalogue of true crime documentaries and films ready for you to binge until 4am, telling unimaginable stories of frauds, cons, relationships, and drama. Here are the best shows to watch next if you craving more Tinder Swindler vibes.
The Puppet Master
This new true crime documentary follows conman Robert Hendy-Freegard who swindled nearly one million pounds out of at least seven women and one man. His crimes were undetected for years, and so naturally, Netflix made a film about it.
The Imposter
As scam stories go, this one is up there as one of the saddest and most fascinating cases going. The Imposter tells the story of notorious French conman Frédéric Bourdin who managed to convince a grieving family in Texas that he was their son Nicholas, who had been missing for three years.
Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened
You've probably heard of the Fyre Festival scam, but if you've not watched the documentary about it, it's on Netflix now.
Probably one of the most notorious scams ever, the doc follows conman Billy McFarland and his promise of putting on "the biggest event of the decade."
While, that was obviously not the case, the Netflix documentary tells you everything that happened, from the expensive promotional videos to the reality: a complete disaster.
Dirty Money
Netflix's Dirty Money is an investigative series that exposes the true lengths people will go to to get rich.
From clocking cars to money laundering, each episode explores a different scam, scheme and various crimes showing the epitome of corporate corruption and greed.
Sour Grapes
This film was pretty huge when it came out back in 2016 and while it's one of the most fascinating true crime films we've ever seen, it's somehow a bit of a well kept secret.
Sour Grapes tells the story of wine fraudster (yes, such a thing exists) Rudy Kurniawan, who worked his way into prestigious US wine clubs and wealthy social circles before swindling his new found friends out of vast sums of money.
Don't F**k With Cats
Who can forget this truly graphic and creepy story of a bunch of internet sleuths who got their detective heads on to catch cat killer Luka Magnotta? The film took a truly disturbing twist of events too, when it was found that he was also guilty of murdering university student Jun Lin.
Inventing Anna
Inventing Anna has been highly anticipated amongst true crime and drama lovers. The series stars Ozark's Julia Garner as Anna Sorokin, a now famous con artist who lived a life of luxury by pretending she was a wealthy German heiress named Anna Delvey.
Scamming friends, banks, hotels, and NYC's elite between the years of 2013 and 2017, the show itself follows a journalist who investigates the story.
Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal
Back in 2019, this college admissions scandal was as big as news could get. It saw Rick Singer, a former coach at Sacramento State getting the kids of the rich and famous into top American Universities. And obviously, not in the most legitimate way.
The scandal also saw actress Lori Loughlin serve a two-month prison sentence for her participation in the scam.
Lords of Scam
According to the official Netflix synopsis Lords of Scam is about "the rise and crash of scammers who conned the EU carbon quota system and pocketed millions before turning on one another." Scam fans, assemble!
Made You Look: A True Story About Fake Art
If you're into art and you're into scam docs, this one's for you. This Netflix film follows Knoedler & Company who unknowingly purchased and sold fake pieces of art from famed artists. It ended up being the *largest* art fraud in American history.
