In this 2-part episode, we discussed the following:
- emotional manipulation of Simon Leviev aka the Tinder Swindler
- relationship realities
- importance of going through the difficult conversations
- and we answer the question: is it bad to be attracted to men/women with money?

Here’s what you can do to protect yourself
- Research thoroughly.
- Do an image search to avoid catfishing.
- Consult your family or friends.
- Don’t overshare on social media.
- Don’t send compromising pictures or videos.
- Don’t set up a new bank account.
- Ask the important questions to know the person more.
