Audience Member I hate to admit that this was a great documentary because it was so devastatingly sad what Dionne did to Graham. I had hoped that Graham and his partner remained a couple, but I wonder, why wasn't she enough? Why didn't her concerns matter? I realize his vulnerability to his mum but he made personal and financial decisions without his partner's knowledge. He left her and his newborn son for the first two months of his son's life. I knew that Dionne had to have done this before. Details were so intricate. The whole story was just sad. She destroyed so many lives. The legal system works more favorably for the con artists, than the victim. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/12/25 Full Review Audience Member Another sad story of scamming/deception, but clearly, the promise of money played a big role in all of the sons ‘decisions’. I don’t buy that it was ALL compassion for his long lost dying mother. He chose to believe that he would soon be so filthy rich, that making his newborn son a lesser priority was going to be worthwhile. But he doesn’t admit this to the audience or himself. He was played, no doubt. But he was also tested. And he failed spectacularly. I was abandoned by both parents too. But hell would have frozen over before anyone or anything got between my baby girl and I. No amount of money, no promise, no mortal. That is what was glaringly missing here. He didn’t acknowledge his own part in the terrible tragedy that is generational to his blood. I hope his son can one day break the chain.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Kay M While it is quite tantalizing and sad, it left me with the feeling the SON is the one who's conned us (the viewers) into paying his debts. *** Why? I have a feeling he regrets deeply splurging on his Mum, whom he had to have known was not being honest with him. It didn't seem to matter how much she kept begging for ( I believe it was hundreds of thousands of pounds), he put her luxuries over his son's future. *** He also chose not to be with his newborn the first few months. Perhaps out of guilt. But she could have come back to London with him... She deliberately wanted to separate him from his partner and baby. *** Yes, we can all be conned. Otherwise there would be no such thing as scammers. *** This, however was / IS his biological Mum. Therefore... Where's the true con? *** It's a story of a family who lent money to the wrong family member and regrets it. *** And now he's using NETFLIX as a means to pay his bills. SHAME ON HIM!! *** Nope! *I too met my real father several years ago. Oh he was a huge talker, the amazing lies he told. Gosh. *** And for awhile, we choose to financially help him until we realized he was using us for money and didn't care about myself, his nor his grandchildren. Heartbreaking for him. **** He has nothing and no one in his life. And he's basically homeless. How I wish things were different, believe me. *** We walked away. We had to, moreso due to the emotional strain it out on all of us. And will always help people, regardless of our own financial loss. He didn't con us. We were people who made the choice to give from our hearts. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Jennifer W "Con Mum" is a true cautionary tale that unfolds in five-star settings. It reveals that no matter how intelligent and professionally stable a person is, there may be a predator waiting in the wings with the perfect emotional key to their undoing. This well-produced documentary delivers plenty of high-impact twists and turns and a moving conclusion. If you think you're above being scammed, you'll think differently after watching this film. (And if by the end of this documentary you think Mum should rot in hell, join the club.) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/27/25 Full Review Samir K Well its just way too standard & one-sided, I mean come-on yes one would trust 'mum' - but Graham & Heather were taken in by the prospect of wealth, no one questions when someone is gifting them unaffordable stuff but once conned they come making a sad face. ..con mum fizzles way too soon and certain things dont make sense for instance- how did she trace Graham? DNA test in the end proves she is the mum but why wud she scam her own son? Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Read all reviews
