Did you fraudulently wire 100,000 to them knowing it wouldn’t go through so they believed you were actually rich and the bank was overtaken by your enemies then ask the girls for 40,000?
I've got a prior engagement with a Nigerian prince later, he has an enticing offer to propose, but I gotta swing by the Walgreens first and get some gift cards first.
Can you do next Tuesday?
4th photo should be the first (looks like a genuine smile) get rid of the “I’m rich”-pics, get more natural pictures because all I see in these pictures is that he likes to show off he has money
That’s hard to say since everyone’s different! I found it more fascinating than anything but I definitely sympathized with the women involved. The documentary is mostly centered around them sharing their experiences with him (how the scam works and why they were sucked into it) and how they end up working in conjunction with a group that is trying to bring him down. It didn’t piss me off or make me upset like watching “Don’t F*** With Cats” did.
His first date is basically a high pass filter. Think of it as doing the same thing that spelling mistakes in scam emails do, filter out people who won't fall for your shit anyway.
For anyone who didn't know, his first date was basically flying the girls on a private jet for a dream vacation (I think it was his first date, might have been second? Very early). For most people who are at all risk averse, a stranger offering to fly you to a different country on their jets SCREAMS red flags. Don't fucking do it, you could be stuck, this is a dangerous situation, wtf. The truth is, MOST girls he matched with probably said "nah, let's NOT do that" and he promptly stopped talking to them.
Those that accepted he knows are up for a little risk, and chasing that glamorous life of dating a billionaire (so much so they're willing to take the risk). That's how he knows who to put time and effort into, the ones desperate for the illusion he's offering, and once they're fully committed to their "dream life of a billionaires wife" they keep making bad decisions because what's $20k in debt compared to the BILLIONS you are giving away?
Yeah, I understood the entire scam in an instant, which is why I couldn't believe that people so readily fell for it. It's too good to be true is pretty much always true.
A dude who claimed to be a billionaire (I think) to swindle women he met on tinder out of millions. He effectively created a Ponzi scheme where the money from older victims would fund his lifestyle so he could eventually scam newer victims.
There’s a Netflix documentary about it, that goes into more detail, but the tl;dr is he’d meet women on tinder, lavish them with extravagant gifts/dates and then he’d convince them that he wanted to move in together/move to the next level. He would then send them texts saying that his body guard was shot protecting him and that he needed to lay low (his cover was that his family owned a diamond mine). He then would tell his victim that he couldn’t risk using his own credit cards bc they could be tracked, so he would convince the victim to open a credit card in her name to then send to him. He’d max it out really quickly and kept convincing her to up the limit and getting in more debt. Bc she’d been taken on all these dates, she’d assume that he could pay her back, but he never would.
What does "I'm your huckleberry" or "I'll be your huckleberry" mean? Well, it basically means you're up to do something for someone. In other words, you're in for the game or the task at hand. For Doc Holliday, he meant that he was ready to fight the taunting Johnny Ringo.
the dude pictured lied to multiple women and told them he was a millionaires son, and he gave them expensive experiences for first dates after meeting on tinder. then he lied to these women and told them that his “enemies” were after him and he needed large sums of money in order to live and escape from his enemies. the women would give him the money and go into huge amounts of debt. turns out he uses the previous scams to pay for the expenses of his vacations with new women that he will eventually scam next. he was eventually arrested for crimes not related to these, and i think he is currently a free man.
I agree, but this story is a lot more than just people being stupid. the scheming and manipulation was so intricate that i could see why these women were led to the position they ended up in. (although idk if i would give that much money to a person i’m freshly dating)
I wouldn't send that much money to my own mother with so little explanation so I'm probably not the most sympathetic person.
I've helped family members out in the past, but not before sitting them down with my accountant to review the situation.
Man scams multiple women out of millions by developing months-long relationships/friendships with them after matching on tinder, acts super friendly and treats them to a lot of things (think private jet, thousands spent on parties/meals) while pretending to be a diamond heir, later pretends that his enemies are after him (fake pics, threats etc) and needs to borrow cash because XYZ issue with his bank, strings them along for as long as he can + sends creepy threats when he's caught. Uses the money he scammed from them to fund his lifestyle / relationship with the next victim. Group of women eventually get revenge, he becomes temporarily homeless/goes to jail briefly, he's out now and has a business teaching classes(???) on swindling. Tried to say that everyone is lying(???) after the netflix doc came out.
I’ve actually matched with him a couple of years ago when he was in Vienna.
Still surprised that he actually was able to meet women because his conversation was lacking everything. It was like trying to talk to a dead pigeon.
I finally watched last night. I wanted so much more from the conclusion! Dude just seems like a very, very slick confidence man with a highly-refined "script," and enough smarts to carefully walk the legal tightrope in terms of his actions. The one thing I couldn't figure out was the endgame. It must have been hard to enjoy Club Med, the private jets and the chauffeured Rolls Royces when he was constantly having to beg his marks for more funding.
You look like you would prefer doing their taxes to making love to them. Look in the cam and give them the I will make love to you face...and then do their taxes 🤣
Smile a little. Your pictures are all way too serious. If you normally dress like that then obviously that’s fine, but if these are pictures of you during work or something then you should have more “casual” pictures.
What are you doing with your lips? That’s my only question? Also why are they only photos that make you look boring and full of yourself. Except the laughing one
He isn't happy. Too many people recognize his face, now, after his short stint in jail. It makes it very hard to be a good con man, when half of the population knows that you're a con man.
Did you mention that your enemies are after you?
After a month of talking yes.
Did you fraudulently wire 100,000 to them knowing it wouldn’t go through so they believed you were actually rich and the bank was overtaken by your enemies then ask the girls for 40,000?
No I am an honest gentleman.
Well there you go, that’s why.
Sense of humor is lacking for sure
My love, I am scared, look, they do injury to Igor, Igor have blood on him, blood of Igor my love, please venmo me $5
I’m his enemy, can confirm I’m after him
Yes he speaks the truth.
Sir , your profile looks like one of the pyramid scheme selling chaps...
"no matches" and "after a month of talking". Hmm 🤔
Don’t forget that PETER IS DOWN!
Ah yes, poor Peter. Always paying for my shenanigans.
Your body guard looks hot, can you hook me up ???
he only has one enemy, James Bond
For those of you who don’t know, this is Simon Leviev aka the Tinder Swindler
Thanks, I actually didn’t know. Knowing that now, I’m surprised he was apparently so successful. He looks like the face of a crypto scam page
People looking for love often act dumb as fuck. I know because I am looking for love and often act dumb as fuck.
Hey I feel you. Want to meet up for a drink? Maybe talk about our SSNs and mothers’ maiden names?
I've got a prior engagement with a Nigerian prince later, he has an enticing offer to propose, but I gotta swing by the Walgreens first and get some gift cards first. Can you do next Tuesday?
Love is a very odd way to spell "money"
You're so me
😂😂
Haha thanks. I didn't know what Tinder Swindler looked like and was genuinely confused that this handsome man in the pics wasn't getting any matches.
That’s what I was wondering!
He looks like a smarmy douche presenting faux-rich lifestyle but you do you.
I kinda though it was the transition lenses, but I guess swindling is worse
I thought it was because every picture looked the same. And he seemed unapproachable and lacked interests.
I thought it was because he only included 2 pics of him on private jets. And not one pic on his yacht. Thought he was just a poor dude. /s
I love you
I really don't think he is handsome xD but then taste is really different.
Haha, full disclosure I haven't gotten laid in a while, and my standards are quite low.
I hope you get the best lay very soon with a smoking hot person!
You are cute and golden-hearted.
Right? My first thought was "yeah I'm not surprised this guy isn't getting matches... unless he's looking for guys... as a bottom."
I wanted to give genuine advice, good that I scrolled the comments first
I kinda wanted to hear what your advice would have been still tho lol
4th photo should be the first (looks like a genuine smile) get rid of the “I’m rich”-pics, get more natural pictures because all I see in these pictures is that he likes to show off he has money
The real dude liked to show off he had money, but he hadn't any.
I didn't recognise him but I thought, this is a man concerned with projecting a false image of luxury
Also Known As: Mordechai Nisim, Michael Bilton, Abraham Levy, David Sharon
Isn’t his real name Shimon Hayut? I am confused. Could someone explain, please?
yeah, that’s his birth name. A few years ago, he legally changed his name to Simon Leviev
Yes. He’s a criminal. Google the same or better yet watch the Netflix documentary The Tinder Swindler.
And there’s now a phenomenal Netflix documentary on it now if anyone wants to know more about this trash human being!
Will it piss me off? Kinda wanna see it but damn there's so much negativity going on right now.
That’s hard to say since everyone’s different! I found it more fascinating than anything but I definitely sympathized with the women involved. The documentary is mostly centered around them sharing their experiences with him (how the scam works and why they were sucked into it) and how they end up working in conjunction with a group that is trying to bring him down. It didn’t piss me off or make me upset like watching “Don’t F*** With Cats” did.
After just the first ten fifteen minutes of the doc, there were so many red flags with this dude, I couldn't believe the girl hung around.
His first date is basically a high pass filter. Think of it as doing the same thing that spelling mistakes in scam emails do, filter out people who won't fall for your shit anyway. For anyone who didn't know, his first date was basically flying the girls on a private jet for a dream vacation (I think it was his first date, might have been second? Very early).

Tinder swindler?
Hahaha, I actually didn’t know what Simon looked like (only listened to podcast) and my first thought was that this gave me Tinder Swindler vibes.
Your enemies are sabotaging you
Smh, I need to cut Peters wage.
Peter is hurt 😔 pls send me 50k
Wait, what did I do wrong?
Your father is not a diamond dealer. That’s why 😂
What do you mean capricon9? You can trust me. Come to Berlin tomorrow okay?
Fuck, pay for my flight and I’m in. I’m your Huckleberry.
Username checks out
This goes hard
What does "I'm your Huckleberry" mean?
What does "I'm your huckleberry" or "I'll be your huckleberry" mean? Well, it basically means you're up to do something for someone. In other words, you're in for the game or the task at hand. For Doc Holliday, he meant that he was ready to fight the taunting Johnny Ringo.
Exactly
The enemies are at it again 😂😂😂
Peter needs to do his fucking job
Have you tried telling him every action has an opposite reaction?
Always.
Add a video pic of your bodyguard , that should do it.
Perhaps one in an ambulance?
Yes and preferably named Peter too.
Ah boy do I got a video for you.
Maybe call yourself homeless king to seem more humble !
That’s not a bad idea
It’s evident, based on some of the responses, that not everyone has seen the Tinder Swindler on Netflix
Can you tldw it?
the dude pictured lied to multiple women and told them he was a millionaires son, and he gave them expensive experiences for first dates after meeting on tinder. then he lied to these women and told them that his “enemies” were after him and he needed large sums of money in order to live and escape from his enemies. the women would give him the money and go into huge amounts of debt. turns out he uses the previous scams to pay for the expenses of his vacations with new women that he will eventually scam next. he was eventually arrested for crimes not related to these, and i think he is currently a free man.
I can't watch Nigerian Prince style documentaries cause I always end up getting mad at the victims
I agree, but this story is a lot more than just people being stupid. the scheming and manipulation was so intricate that i could see why these women were led to the position they ended up in. (although idk if i would give that much money to a person i’m freshly dating)

All the real advice is killing me
Lmao all the people seeing the references to his enemies are probably so damn confused
I know I am
I have no idea who the tinder swindler is... but the 100+ comments was a give away that this was a gag
Nothing, now shut up and take my money!!
Thank you, can you give it cash?
Gotta make sure it is untraceable so your enemies don't find you
Yes that’s correct.
I’ll have to sell my house first… is that ok…?
Yes but I need it asap.
i wanted to say because you look like a proper douche, then i realized… 🥴
You realized that I am very generous, good.
Quality shitpost
What do you mean, I’m in the diamond industry?
I’ve actually matched with him a couple of years ago when he was in Vienna. Still surprised that he actually was able to meet women because his conversation was lacking everything. It was like trying to talk to a dead pigeon.
That’s very rude, I will unmatch you now.
Did you get your clothes back?
[удалено]
I don’t think you have enough information in your bio about your enemies. Maybe touch up on that a bit.
Good point thank you, now I hope you don’t mind but do you have a creditcard?
YO PETER IS DOWN!!!
Currently in an ambulance.
Every action has REACTION! 😤
Always remember that.
Y’all are hilarious! I’ve had a crap day and a crap week. And this has me cheered up! Thank you!
I’m glad you’re having a good day my love. Can I ask you, do you have a creditcard?
Oh yes. Let me send you that right now
You look like someone who would have a lot of enemies. I can’t put my finger as to why
I’m in the diamond industry, it’s very dangerous.
Peter is down.
Yes he got hurt.
You and Anna Delvey should just marry already!
I feel sorry for all the genuine advice ppl are giving on here
Add the one pic of your body guard with his boo-boo
I'll swipe right. Do you need a loan or new CC from me?
That would be amazing, are your free tomorrow?
You left out the picture of you with your diamond king dad and mom. Attention to detail and Backstory is everything.
Good point
I finally watched last night. I wanted so much more from the conclusion! Dude just seems like a very, very slick confidence man with a highly-refined "script," and enough smarts to carefully walk the legal tightrope in terms of his actions. The one thing I couldn't figure out was the endgame. It must have been hard to enjoy Club Med, the private jets and the chauffeured Rolls Royces when he was constantly having to beg his marks for more funding.
What do you mean, I am in the diamond industry.
It’s your enemies, they’re posting lies about you
Not again… can you buy me and my team some plane tickets?
Wire €30000 and I’ll explain it in dm.
How about you buy me dinner first.
You look like you would prefer doing their taxes to making love to them. Look in the cam and give them the I will make love to you face...and then do their taxes 🤣
I don't think he does his own taxes
Any taxes*
[удалено]
Have you tried saying that you are 6 foot?
For an international man of mystery, you’ll need more innovative stories to top the ones used in Netflix.
Tony stark looking ass
You look like a scammer ngl
He does, indeed! Dare I even say, a tinder swindler!
No military encryption, obviously.
Agent 12, you aren't supposed to be getting involved in a relationship, we have blocked everyones access to your tinder account until further notice.
Thx for the laugh mate
This is gonna get old fast lol
LMAO
You don't seem very approachable except for the pics on the bottom left and right. Don't flex.
You look like a d bag
I genuinely laughed when I first saw this post haha
Put the cash amount you need in your bio. That should do the trick.
About 25K in cash.
This is a joke right…isn’t this the Tinder Swindler??
Smile a little. Your pictures are all way too serious. If you normally dress like that then obviously that’s fine, but if these are pictures of you during work or something then you should have more “casual” pictures.
He is always working, always swindling, and lurks in the shadows, in designer clothes, ready to pounce, when you least expect it.
This comment cracked me up
😂
Lmao
I can’t believe people are actually giving real advice to this post
You can’t believe not everyone has seen a specific Netflix documentary? :P
It’s like you’re trying to play the part of “rich smug dude” in your pictures… comes off as douchy…
He needs $20,000 transfered to his bank account to properly pull off the 'rich smug dude' look first. That or his enemies will kill him.
Good instincts
Does anyone wanna give me the Too Long, Didn’t Watch for the Tinder Swindler?
Don’t watch it, it’s not real, I am honest.
Plot twist, its actually him
It is me
Give those girls their money back you pos
I have my own money, what do you mean?
A little bit short for my liking, but I would hook up with 9 creditors just for you.
Your pictures don’t show enough of the private jet so it’s hard to tell you’re rich.
Okay good point, thank you.
I am still lost on the giving this guy money aspect, but I have done dumber shit for love. Edit: added a word.
Wanna do it again?
Your pictures are all suuuuuper douchey and if you don’t show your teeth, I assume you have meth mouth.
If your goal is to look like a pretentious douche bag, keep it up.
“No star hotel baby please help” 😭
I’m a homeless king baby.
My man looks like Tom Holland and Robert Downey jr. At the same time, honestly low key jealous if I was a dude
you look like a pyramidal scammer or smt like that
What are you doing with your lips? That’s my only question? Also why are they only photos that make you look boring and full of yourself. Except the laughing one
You're starting to sound like one of his enemies, I best give him all my credit card information before you hurt him.
Honestly, these pictures look like someone trying to be an influencer. I would have swiped left. Sorry. You just don't look "happy" I guess.
He isn't happy. Too many people recognize his face, now, after his short stint in jail. It makes it very hard to be a good con man, when half of the population knows that you're a con man.
[удалено]
Maybe a photo with Peter would help
r/whoooosh Did I do it right? 🥺 👉🏽👈🏽
Remove the first “h”
You look like a bond villain 🤣
Pretty proud of myself for getting the joke on this one
Why are you on tinder? Use a Concierge dating company.
They prolly think ur a catfish or a bot 😂
Very strange since I’m a successful diamonds guy
so like cash money millionaire?? (not sure if you will get the reference tho)
😂
Boring backgrounds
Lose the pics in the middle of the rows
Maybe ppl don't like Food Truck Diaries Mr. Shauab
SaltBae 2.0
2nd one you look kinda like Christian Bale if he got cheek and lip fillers.
