Cecilie Fjellhoy is a speaker whose personal journey through the world of financial fraud has resonated with audiences globally. Her story gained international prominence after she bravely shared her experience of being defrauded, which was first covered in VG's most-read article ever and later featured in the Netflix documentary "The Tinder Swindler". Cecilie’s willingness to expose her private life to the public eye has not only brought attention to the pervasive issue of fraud but has also provided solace and awareness to countless others who may find themselves in similar situations.

Originally from Lillestrøm, just outside Oslo, Cecilie found herself thrust into an overwhelming media spotlight. Despite the challenges of navigating this new world, she recognised the importance of her story in helping others identify and avoid scams or destructive relationships. Her experience of being admitted to an emergency psychiatric unit due to the emotional toll of her ordeal further fuelled her passion for advocacy.

With nearly a decade of experience as a usability designer in the IT industry, Cecilie has leveraged her digital identity and banking systems skills to champion the cause of fraud victims. She has actively engaged with media, organisations, and policymakers worldwide to advocate for changes in processes, laws, and regulations that better protect victims.

Cecilie’s dedication extends beyond advocacy; she has founded the organisation LoveSaid, which aims to provide mental health support and resources for fraud victims. Her work in this area is ongoing, and she is committed to being a strong voice in discussions about fraud and women’s empowerment.

Through her talks and presentations around the world, Cecilie shares her experiences with humility and respect, inspiring audiences to understand that life continues beyond victimhood. Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of speaking out against injustice, making her an influential figure in the fight against fraud.
