Tinder Cheater Simon Leviev: He was hiding in Prague too!
Israeli Shimon Yehuda Hayut could be an ordinary man who uses the Tinder dating app to date. However, he decided to take matters into his own hands and make millions to meet foreign women. How did the Israelis, by the false name Simon Leviev (31), succeed? The new documentary Cheater from Tinder from the Netflix workshop, which was released last Wednesday, answers this.
Luxury and wealth occupy women
In 2018, the man established a profile on a dating application with the new name Simon Leviev. There, he falsely identified himself as the son of billionaire Lev Leviev and boasted of a life full of luxury and wealth. Of course, it took a lot of women and started writing with Simon. However, they had no idea what lies he would be dragged into with the manipulator and the impostor.
When Simon built up with strong confidence in women, he began to draw money from them with thoughtful lies. It started with pictures of his bodyguard from the blood with news that he was caring for Simon’s life and that he needed money. The frightened woman was sent to him, of course. He later wanted to borrow a credit card from his friend Cecílie, who appears in the document. “It seemed like a matter of course then, I was his girlfriend,” explains one of the women who came across him in the document.
He never repaid his debts
Over a month, Tinder was able to raise more than 200 million crowns from women, which, of course, he never paid. No wonder Cecilia (one of his girlfriends at the time) decided to contact the media to help her track down the man who robbed her of her life savings. The police in seven countries around the world soon became interested in the fraudster, after which the search for Interpol was announced.
At that time, Simon was hiding in the Czech Republic. In Prague, he secretly wanted to undergo several plastic surgeries so that the police might not recognize him. “We stopped in front of a plastic surgeon’s clinic in Prague and I thought, what are we going to do there? He wanted to go for a nose job, cheekbones, lips and chin. The plastic surgeon said he would not operate on it because only criminals want it. I almost ran out because I wanted to tell him – but he’s a criminal! “ says one of Ayleen Charlotte’s girlfriends in the documentary.
Today she is free again
After a failed operation, Sim managed to escape again, this time to Athens. However, the police caught him there and he was sentenced to a year and a quarter for the crimes he committed in Israel. But after the 5th month, he was released. But since he was looking for quick money, he did not give up and immediately after arriving from prison, he set up a website for advantageous business advice. Currently, the impostor should live in Israel with the successful model Kate Konlin, and for the money he has attracted from women during his life, he is living on a high footing.
