1. Tinder Swindler
The Tinder Swindler
The British true crime documentary was directed by Felicity Morris. Releasing on Netflix, the story follows Israeli conman Simon Leviev, who uses Tinder to connect with individuals. He then emotionally manipulates them into financially supporting his rich lifestyle.
Born Shimon Hayut, Leviev travels all around Europe and pretends to be the son of Russian-Israeli diamond mogul Lev Leviev. He would take women to dinners and give them lavish gifts with the money he borrowed from other women. He even sent his victims’ fake bank transfers pretending to pay them back, but then he would block them and break contact. The story is very similar to Hunter Moore’s story so you may want to watch both of these stories!
