About Romconned
RomConned is a true-crime-meets-dating series that exposes the emotional, psychological, and financial tactics used in romantic fraud. Through real case studies, survivor interviews, and expert analysis, Laurel House and Dr. Alex del Carmen reveal how online predators, narcissists, romance scammers, and emotional manipulators lure, break, exploit, and disappear—often without accountability.
The show goes beyond horror stories. It educates, protects, and empowers.
