Melbourne’s Tinder Swindler

Melbourne’s Tinder Swindler is back behind bars. Christopher Alan Collins used dating apps to gain women’s trust before stealing their money, once taking $96,000 while his date was dancing just metres away. Now, after admitting to defrauding another woman of almost $345,000, blackmailing her and even threatening to kill her, Collins is awaiting another sentence. This week, Wayne and friend of the podcast journalist Paul Shapiro retrace his shocking history from the beginning, all the way to his recent guilty plea.The Trial: Australia is part of The Crime Desk.
