A man dubbed ‘Australia’s Tinder swindler’ is accused of meeting women online and using them as ‘cash cows’ to fund his luxury lifestyle.
Kim d’Alquen, from Melbourne, thought she’d found the love of her life when she met Grant Greentree on the dating app, Bumble.
‘I was really looking for my soulmate. And I thought I found him,’ she told 60 Minutes reporter Tom Steinfort.
‘I married my dream guy.’
Mr Greentree stole Ms d’Alquen’s heart by treating her to expensive dinners, holidays, and telling her all about his extensive property portfolio and car collection.
At one stage, he took her to view an $18million mansion.
However, she soon found out the man of her dreams was nothing more than an alleged fraudster who, she claims, married her get to her bank account.
Ms Ms d’Alquen alleges Mr Greentree swiped more than $200,000 from her accounts.
I was his cash cow. He didn’t want me to go,’ she said.
‘In the end, he was everything but … he was my nightmare.’
Ms d’Alquen also claimed Mr Greentree told her that his daughter Isabella’s mother was dead.
Isabella told the program: ‘My mother is alive.’
Ms d’Alquen later found out that she was one of many women to fall for Mr Greentree.
Another woman who met the alleged fraudster on Bumble told the program she ‘threw up’ when she found out he allegedly took $33,000 from her bank account.
‘It’s a bitter pill to swallow when you find out that everything you thought was real, wasn’t,’ she said.
Like Ms d’Alquen, she was taken to view properties worth millions of dollars and believed he was in love with her – ‘he was charming,’ she added.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Mr Greentree for comment.
The full story will air on 60 Minutes on Sunday night.
