Britain's youngest EuroMillions winner has sent a warning to her followers after being targeted by a 'Tinder swindler'.
Back in 2022, the Netflix documentary of the same name made headlines worldwide after it exposed a man who was responsible for using the dating app to con his dates out of their cash.
He was eventually brought to justice for his crimes and the term 'Tinder swindler' has since become a catchphrase for con artists on dating apps.
Now, Scottish influencer Jane Park has sent a warning to her followers about a local man scamming women, telling them to 'run for your life'.

Taking to her Instagram stories, Jane - who has over 200 thousand followers on the social media platform - wrote: "A real life Tinder swindler... Girls run for your life if you encounter him."
The 34-year-old man, who currently cannot be named for legal reasons, previously faced jail time after posing as a gang member and threatening a woman into sending £2,500 otherwise he would have her car set on fire.
A court heard that he had used the money to keep his failing central heating business afloat.
It is understood the man was able to avoid a prison sentence by paying back the money after being convicted of fraud. He is not able to be named as he is the suspect in two active prosecutions and is due in court later this month.

It's unclear what the man had said to Jane, however, it would appear that she was not the only person targeted, as she tagged another account - a woman named Victoria McCrae - in the post.
A source has since revealed to The Daily Record that both Jane and Victoria were approached by the man, saying: "Both Jane Park and Vic McCrae have recently put on social media about being Tinder swindled by him.
“Apparently he approached both girls via social media after stalking them, their background, families, ex-partners and friends for months to have things to hold over them."
They continued: "Although she can be very active on social media, Jane keeps a lot of things private and hasn’t been scared to take steps away from the limelight when she’s needed it.

"She’s doing her bit to try and make sure nobody else falls victim to him and his scams."
Jane is best known for being Britain's youngest EuroMillions winner, after bagging herself a tidy £1 million at age 17.
LADbible has approached Victoria McCrae and a representative for Jane Park for comment.
