Mum of two left penniless by Tinder scammer

A mother of two says she was left penniless after giving her savings to Tinder predator Christopher Harkins in a fake investment scam. The pair matched on the dating app in London in 2020. Caitlyn - not her real name - told how the fraudster and rapist initially tried to talk her into going on holiday with him - a regular ruse of Harkins, now 38. When she said she couldn't afford a holiday, he offered to help by doubling what money she had via his foreign currency exchange business. She's one of four women the BBC is aware of who were targeted by Harkins in the capital - where he fled to after his crimes were exposed in Scotland.
