“North London daters, beware. That’s the message of this fascinating film (though fascinating in an unashamedly sensational, dentist’s-waiting-room-magazine kind of way)”.
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian

“These came across simply as harrowing stories, made all the more harrowing by seeing their subjects — the victims — relive them this rawly”.
Alex Hardy, The Times

“This hour-long documentary presenting four case studies of convicted fraudsters, was stuffed full of psycho-claptrap, but frustratingly short on real insight”.

“Some of the stories left you wondering why the conmen had chosen this path”.
Matt Balys, Daily Express

Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail
