This week on The Dating Detectives, we hear Tracy Hall’s jaw-dropping story of dating one of Australia's most notorious con men. What begins as a seemingly healthy, slow-burn romance with a supportive, emotionally intelligent partner turns into a shocking unraveling of identity, trust, and financial security when Tracy discovers the man she loved never existed at all. As she pieces together an 18-month relationship built on meticulous lies, Tracy shares how even the smartest, most capable people can be targeted, manipulated, and ultimately betrayed—and how she fought to rebuild her life in the aftermath. This episode is a powerful reminder that scams don’t look like scams when you’re inside them. Stick around for the Dogfish Debrief for more insights, and if you want to go deeper, check out Tracy’s book The Last Victim, and the hit Australian podcast that dives deep into all of Hamish's crimes, Who the Hell is Hamish?
