Tinder Swindler Simon Leviev sending greeting videos for £146 each 

The Tinder Swindler is cashing in on his new found Netflix fame by selling personalised greeting videos for £146 each. 

Shimon Heyada Hayut, 30, who operated under several aliases including Simon Leviev, scammed women he met on Tinder out of an estimated £7.4 million while pretending to be the son of a billionaire diamond merchant.  

After being exposed in Netflix documentary The Tinder Swindler, released earlier this month, the conman is using his infamy to flog clips on video-sharing app Cameo. 

The serial fraudster makes light of his crimes in the videos, giving male users tips on improving their dating profiles to attract more women.

In one clip, the conman says: ‘I saw your profile on Tinder, well my friend, you need to change your photos. I think you can do better there, put some photos of friends, of animals, girls love it. Just be yourself.’

Hayut scammed his victims by telling them he had ‘enemies’ after him, and claimed they had to send money so his rivals wouldn’t be able to track him through his finances. 

In one video he jokes about the method, saying: ‘Can you please WhatsApp me, send the guest list [for your birthday party]. I want to make sure my enemies won’t be there. Remember, for every action, there’s gonna be a reaction.’ 

In a video to a female user, he jokes about taking her on a date to Mykonos – where he would enjoy lavish holidays using his victims’ money.  

The fraudster, who will deliver a video within 24 hours, currently has a five star rating on the platform and a fanbase of 104 users

He said: ‘I would love to take you out for dinner or maybe to go travelling abroad, maybe Mykonos if you’ve never been? It’s a beautiful place, beautiful beaches, incredible especially in the summer’.

Israeli playboy Hayut, then in his late 20s, lured in trusting women by claiming he was Simon Leviev, the son of businessman Lev Leviev, who has an estimated $1billion net worth. 

He would shower women he met on the dating app with lavish trips and gifts, using money he had taken from other women. He would then ask for more money under the guise of needing to protect his identity due to security concerns.

Last week, an Instagram account claiming to be the ‘Tinder Swindler’ branded three of his victims ‘manipulators’ after they launched a fundraising page in a bid to cover the huge debts they’ve been left with.

Cecilie Fjellhøy, Ayleen Koeleman, and Pernilla Sjoholm set up the GoFundMe profile in the hopes of raising £600,000 after receiving a flood of support from sharing their story in the Netflix documentary.  

He has never been charged for scamming Cecilie, Ayleen or Pernilla, but was jailed in Israel for use of a fake passport in 2019 in Greece. He was released after five months on good behaviour. 

Days after The Tinder Swindler was released, he reportedly issued a statement on his Instagram page.  

‘I will share my side of the story in the next few days when I have sorted out the best and most respectful way to tell it, both to the involved parties and myself,’ he apparently wrote before deleting that account.

But an Instagram story (pictured) from an account claiming to belong to Shimon Hayut – the serial fraudster who posed as the son of a billionaire Israeli diamond merchant to swindle women he dated out of thousands of pounds – has slammed the women’s campaign

Cecilie, Ayleen and Pernilla raised more than £18,000 within 24 hours of launching their fundraising page and said that they are grateful for any help after being defrauded large sums. 

The trio’s fundraiser read: ‘You’re probably here because you’ve heard about our story, and we appreciate you taking the time to search and find this page.

‘The past few days have been a whirlwind, and we three (Ayleen, Pernilla and Cecilie) have been completely shocked and floored by the flood of compassion and support from everyone. The sheer love is more than we ever expected, and we appreciate you all so much.

‘After careful consideration, and many chats, we have decided to start this GoFundMe fundraiser. So many people reached out to us asking if we had one, and it hadn’t occurred to us to make one prior to this. 

‘However, we’ve spotted plenty of fakes, which makes us uneasy. We don’t want more people getting defrauded.

‘We realise there are a thousand other worthy causes to donate to, and remain forever grateful if you choose to donate to this one. All we want are our lives back.’  

Cecilie was a 29-year-old Norwegian graduate student living in London, when she says Hayut conned her out of more than £200,000.

She believed that she had finally met her Prince Charming, when she matched on Tinder with ‘Simon Leviev’ in 2019.

He claimed to be a billionaire playboy and even took her on a trip using his private plane during their first date. 

The serial fraudster, who is no longer on Tinder, had 200,000 Instagram followers before deciding to close his account following backlash from the Netflix documentary.
