The purported Tinder Swindler is Simon Hayut, a convicted fraudster with a historical background traced to Israel. Simon Hayut utilized dating applications to meet different ladies, then, at that point, laid out credit and loans in their names, at last leaving them holding the bills.
Supposing he was at that point convicted for fraud and extortion, how could he figure out how to pull off it once more?
Like a satanic Leonardo DiCaprio in Catch Me If You Can, Simon seemed glad to hop starting with one identity then onto the next to keep his plan running. He was convicted for fraud and extortion in Finland under his original name however completed his Tinder con with the name Simon Leviev, professing to be the child of wealthy diamond magnate Lev Leviev. When his name was revealed in a VG uncover, he immediately took the name David Sharon to sidestep the authorities.
What sort of trick was it?
Hayut obviously followed an example: He would arrange with a lady on Tinder, take her on an exorbitant and great first date (on account of Cecilie Schrøder Fjellhøy, an outing on a personal luxury plane), and gradually build their relationship while flying all over the world and subtly dating different ladies. His informers claim that, at one point, Hayut would trust in them that he was stressed an undefined gathering of his "enemies" was not far off. Later, he would send a photograph of his draining bodyguard, supposedly harmed by these enemies, to stir up further concern.
