Love Con Revenge look back: What happened to the scammers and their targets

The Netflix documentary series Love Con Revenge, which is hosted by Cecilie Fjellhøy and private investigator Brianne Joseph, tells the stories of ongoing romantic scams as well as their aftermath, including which scammers are still at large, who received justice, and who experienced lasting trauma.

Numerous examples highlighted in the series have resulted in convictions, sentencing, bankruptcies, and emotional recoveries since its September 2025 debut. However, the program also emphasizes how many targets are still awaiting resolution while dealing with the financial, legal, and psychological fallout.

The documentary series follows the continuing lives of scammers and victims in addition to exposing deceit. The results vary, ranging from Christopher Lloyd, the "Major League Scammer," being indicted on a federal level to Jill Schardein, who was awarded a court award against her con artist.

Some scammers take advantage of legal loopholes or evade penalties entirely, while others are held accountable. Long after the cameras stop running, many victims are left to regain their self-esteem, credit scores, and trust.

Cases revealed on Love Con Revenge — Justice served and battles still fighting

Scammers who faced consequences

The case of Bridget Phillips had one of the most obvious results. In Episode 2: "Fallen Soldier," Ricky Morrisey pretended to be an Army veteran and was found guilty on several felony counts of larceny and fraud. After scamming Bridget of thousands of dollars, he received a sentence of three years in prison.

A Nashville judge ordered Todd Dean to reimburse the victim, Jill Schardein, about $30,727.50 in the "Selfie Scammer" incident. Todd later acknowledged that he had no income when he filed for bankruptcy in December 2023, suggesting that the payments may be merely symbolic.

Indicted on 14 federal counts for alleged wire fraud connected to romantic scams totaling over $2 million involving victims he met through apps, was Christopher Lloyd, another highlighted scammer from episodes 5–6. The case is still open.

The targets — Recovery isn’t always justice

For Love Con Revenge victims, justice has frequently meant facing charges or receiving compensation, but more often it has meant starting over personally. According to Jill Schardein, the legal victory over Todd provided her with sufficient closure to regain her financial and emotional stability. However, a large number of additional victims in Love Con Revenge are not receiving their full compensation. Long after court decisions are rendered, emotional suffering, damaged credit, and monetary damages continue.

Following Ricky's conviction, Bridget has begun to move on; she reportedly welcomed a daughter with a new partner and expressed a desire for a life free from the scam. Love Con Revenge's Shareza Jackson’s case, in “Fraudster in the Family,” shows both relief and frustration: her ex-husband (posing as a doctor) is under legal scrutiny, but much of the emotional damage, betrayal, and loss of trust remains.

Unresolved threads are the next. Aaron, the victim, is unlikely to recover damages because of the statute of limitations, even though Sabrina (from "Geek Girl Con") entered a guilty plea to wire fraud. Dorian has evaded charges in desired counts while claiming a PhD. Many survivors claim that the legal system moves slowly and that when they attempt to report, they are met with silence or incredulity.
