Jeff Kent: The Fake Doctor Behind a Hotel Scam | Fraud Squad | S2 E11

What happens when a charming “doctor” builds a life on lies? In this gripping Fraud Squad episode, we step inside the mind of Jeff Kent, a convicted fraudster who weaponized romance. From a chance meeting at a bar to a whirlwind proposal, Kent crafted a flawless persona: widowed physician, doting pet adopter, devoted partner. Then came the pitch — an online hotel reservation business promising big returns. But behind the glossy façade were stolen credit cards, phantom bookings, and sleepless victims stranded at check-in. As complaints mounted, Kent tried something audacious at the police station, and a single confession shattered everything — while his wife was seven months pregnant. Hear how Detective Menzies unraveled the case, why Kent put everything in his victims’ names, and the chilling moment he admitted “everything I am is a lie.” Learn the red flags of romance scams and how Consumer Protection investigations intersect with criminal probes. The twists you’re expecting aren’t the ones that come. Watch to see how this house of cards finally collapsed — and how to protect yourself from the next Jeff Kent. #FraudSquad #RomanceScam #JeffKent #FakeDoctor #CreditCardFraud #HotelScam #ConsumerProtection
