When Heather let “Jace” into her Toronto condo to fix a kitchen cabinet, she had no idea she was opening the door to one of Canada’s most prolific romance scammers.

Charming, confident, and seemingly genuine, Jason Porter, using yet another alias, had already conned dozens of women across the country. But this time, he picked the wrong target.

In this episode, Claire Murphy speaks with Heather, the woman who uncovered his lies, exposed his scam network, and helped take him down. You can watch more about her story in the Prime Video documentary ROMCON: Who the F**k is Jason Porter? here.
