This is Crime House. It's almost cliche to say, but dating these days is rough. And that's partly because of all the apps out there. Not only do you have to create a profile that perfectly sums up who you are, but your other social media pages have to be great too. Because even if someone is interested in you on a dating app, you can bet they'll turn to the internet

to make sure everything else lines up. Which is why it is both exciting and relieving to find someone you can actually connect with. That's how many women felt when they matched with a man named Simon Levyov on Tinder. His social media pages showed someone who was handsome, charming, and adventurous. It didn't hurt that he was also outrageously rich. Before long, Simon was sweeping these women off their feet and into a fairy tale romance. So it was especially heartbreaking when they found out it was all

a lie. His kind words, romantic gestures, fancy clothes, it was a carefully curated act. Because Simon wasn't actually interested in any of them. All he wanted was their money. As the saying goes, those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it. That's especially true when it comes to money. If you want to make the right decisions when it comes to managing your assets, you need to know what mistakes to avoid and how to spot a trap.

Of course, online dating had existed for a while, but Tinder was a game changer. If you haven't had the unique experience of using a dating app like Tinder, here's how it works. After creating a profile, you can see other users in the area, including their photos and hobbies. users in the area, including their photos and hobbies. But the real genius of Tinder is its simplicity. If you like a person, swipe right. If not, swipe left. If that person also swipes right on you, you're a match and can start chatting. It

made dating feel like a game. One that everyone seemed to be playing. Tinder spread like wildfire through America's college campuses. By 2014, it was an inferno. The app recorded a trillion swipes in total. It became synonymous with online dating. For some, Tinder was just a fun outlet for meeting people. For others, there was more at stake. It was an opportunity to finally find a partner to share their life with. And it was those people that Simon Levyov

took advantage of. But long before Tinder was created, Simon went by a different name, Shimon Hayot. Though for the sake of this story I'll call him Simon Throughout. He was born in 1990 in a city east of Tel Aviv, Israel called B'nai Barak. There's not much info out there about his upbringing except that it was very religious. By the time Simon was 17 he got a few jobs, but it seemed like he didn't want to actually work for his paychecks. Because pretty soon Simon was robbing his employers. Once he reportedly cashed stolen checks from a family he babysat for.

Another time, his boss was allegedly late with a payment, so Simon forged a check in his boss's name and bought a car and promptly got caught. In 2011, 21-year-old Simon was arrested by Israeli authorities and told he'd face charges. But the thought of going to jail was even worse than being stuck in his conservative hometown. So before his trial, Simon left Israel with a fake passport. He landed in Finland where he lived under a new identity for a while. Actually, a few new identities.

He told some people he was a wealthy businessman and arms dealer, others that he was an Israeli Secret Service agent posing as a pilot. Simon chose professions that were lucrative, secretive, and a bit dangerous. But that was just the beginning of his con. Soon, he began using these personas to charm women online. What Simon was doing was a form of catfishing. Usually it has a romantic element, and the catfisher pretends to be interested in dating their victims.

Whether the catfisher is finding people through Facebook, email, or Tinder, they're typically after one thing – their victims' money. In Simon's case, he didn't just create a Tinder page claiming to be someone else. He continued the lie even when he met his dates in person. He'd tell them he was friends with influential people like the president of Israel and show photos of himself on private jets and at fancy hotels. Most catfishers have a specific reason for keeping their identity a secret. For Simon, he was a wanted fugitive

in desperate need of cash. Lying to these women wasn't just about pretending he was important, it was about survival. Now, before we get any further, I do wanna note that we don't have much of Simon's side of the story, and he's denied doing anything dishonest on Tinder. Still, we know that in one case, Simon convinced a woman he was dating to let him use her credit card. He said his was getting replaced and he just needed hers in the meantime. She figured

that since he was rich, he'd be able to pay her back no problem. Once she handed over her credit card, Simon proceeded to rack up thousands of dollars in debt on things like travel, hotels, and dates with other women. Simon repeated this con multiple times on women in Finland, but eventually they'd ask him to settle up. And that's when his lies got really creative. There was a problem with his company's accounts. He tried to make a deposit and it didn't go through. Every time Simon always had an explanation. You name it, he probably used it. But Simon's excuses ran out eventually.

And in 2015, three of the women he conned reported him to the authorities. That year, 25-year-old Simon was arrested and convicted of fraud. He ended up serving two years in a Finnish prison, which only gave him more time to figure out how to improve his schemes. Simon was released in 2017 and sent back to Israel, which was a problem for him. He never went on trial for those stolen checks, and those charges were waiting for him back home.

Once Simon landed, he was thrown in jail for a month before posting bail, which meant he was free until his court date. Simon used the time to plan ahead. He desperately wanted a fresh start. Not only was he facing more jail time, but his family had apparently cut him off. And he was known as a felon in Europe thanks to his crimes in Finland. The name, Shimone Hayat, wasn't going to work for him, so he legally changed it.

He chose a moniker that was clean and prestigious. That's when he officially changed it to Simon, where his last name he ultimately decided on Levyev because the Levyev family is a huge name in jewelry. Its patriarch Lev Levyev is known as the King of Diamonds. Like Simon, the Levyovs are Israeli, but unlike Simon, they have an estimated net worth of almost a billion dollars. After changing his name, Simon left Israel using another fake passport. We don't know where he went first, but it doesn't really matter, because Simon's life

wasn't tied to a location, it was tied to the internet. At some point during the next year, Simon built an incredible online presence. Soon he had tons of followers on social media and countless photos of him enjoying private jets, luxury cars, and nightclubs. And if someone were to Google him, they'd see articles about the actual Levia family. Simon revamped his Tinder profile, too. Like anyone, he put his best foot forward. He used handsome photos of himself and linked his page to heavily curated socials.

Now, a piece of information we don't have is what Simon looked for in a Tinder match. But based on the people who came forward later, we can assume he chose beautiful women in their late 20s or early 30s who wanted long-term relationships. Of course, I doubt Simon cared what those women wanted. According to his alleged victims, he only cared about one thing. Cash.

Be Zen. By 2018, 28-year-old Simon Leviev had been on the run for at least several months after being charged with stealing checks. Simon used a fake passport to escape his upcoming court date in Israel and traveled back to Europe. And although he'd already been arrested three years earlier for conning women in Finland, it seemed like he hadn't learned his lesson.

So far, there were three well-known accounts from European women who said Simon tricked them. According to them, here's how he did it. First, Simon would use Tinder to match with his intended target. He'd take her on a first date and it would be amazing. I'm talking private jets, fancy dinners, and lavish gifts. Most of the time, Simon would show up on these dates with bodyguards and an adoring entourage. It's not clear how Simon recruited this group

or how much they knew about his activities, but Simon would tell his dates that the bodyguards were for his protection. Because he was the heir to the Levy of Diamond Empire, he was in danger of being targeted for his wealth. The women rarely questioned his claims. After all, if they looked him up, they'd see articles about the Levia family, which he was supposedly a part of.

But for his victims, it wasn't all about Simon's money. He was also incredibly romantic. He was a great listener and would send voice memos saying things like, I love you. I want to be with you. He'd make big over the top gestures like flying out to meet a woman for coffee because she was having a bad day. For some, this might feel over eager, but Simon wanted to sweep these women off their feet.

He wanted them to feel like they were living in a fairy tale. Once his victims were head over heels, Simon would show another side of himself, one that was more vulnerable. He'd admit that his business was in danger and that he was constantly getting threats from enemies in the diamond trade. After letting these women in on his secret,

Simon would drop a bomb. He'd text late at night saying he and his bodyguard had been attacked by his so-called enemies. He even had proof. There were photos and videos of his security guard bleeding from the head. Simon would claim he'd barely gotten out alive and he wasn't safe because they were still after him.

He had to go into hiding, but he couldn't use any of his bank accounts or credit cards in case his enemies were tracking him. That's when he would reportedly ask whoever he was dating for money, which he used to, you guessed it, start the con all over again on his next victim. But he wasn't putting all of his eggs in one basket. Allegedly, Simon was dating several women at once. According to accounts, he really did his homework. He remembered birthdays, names of family members, presents they'd given him, and problems in their lives and work. It helped that his main method of communication was text or WhatsApp messages, which meant

he could probably refer back to things. But eventually, one woman saw through the charade. In January of 2018, Simon matched with a 29-year-old woman on Tinder named Cecilia. She was a Norwegian living in London at the time. Cecilia was a bit of a romantic and had been on Tinder for seven years when she first saw Simon's profile. There was a lot to like about him. The highlights? Well dressed, clearly successful, often at parties, and had a lot of followers on Instagram. When they matched, she met him for their first date at a Four Seasons hotel. It was the beginning of a deep romance for Cecilia.

She described 28-year-old Simon as magnetic and special. According to her, he said he was the CEO of Levy of Diamonds. But it wasn't all small talk. He got vulnerable on that first date, saying he had a daughter and was looking for a partner. It was already a good start, but then he invited her to Bulgaria. Suddenly, Cecilia found herself whisked away on a private jet to another country. There she spent a weekend full of champagne, caviar, and romance. After that, Simon texted and called her constantly. He sent her an enormous bouquet of flowers and even surprised her when she was back in her hometown of Oslo.

He was always traveling, but they texted so much that before the month was up, Cecilia felt like they were in a serious relationship. She even started looking for apartments for them in London. But sometime in April of 2018, three months into their relationship, Simon blew it all up. He texted her claiming he and his bodyguard had been attacked. He sent photos and a video. His bodyguard was bleeding from the head and a medic was attending to him. Simon told Cecilia he couldn't use any credit cards or bank accounts in his name. The person who attacked him knew how to track that stuff. So he asked Cecilia if he could link her credit card to his account until this blew over.

Cecilia said, of course. Her partner was in crisis. She didn't even question it. According to Cecilia, Simon's requests started small, but quickly escalated. Soon he wanted her to take out loans in her name and give him the cash. Soon, he wanted her to take out loans in her name and give him the cash. He made sure to keep playing up how much danger he was in. He even deleted his socials and asked her to do the same. He also insisted that he needed to stay on the move to keep his enemies on their toes. Soon, Simon was using her credit card information to travel around Europe with his team. Often, the American Express card would stop working, which was a problem for both Cecilia

and Simon. See, Cecilia was using her card in London at the same time that Simon was using the card information to pay for things in other countries. So to Amex, it looked like the charges had to be fraudulent. Each time this happened, Cecilia would have to call Amex and verify that the charges had been authorized by her. This might have technically been fraud on Cecilia's part, because even though Simon had permission to use her card,

he wasn't an authorized user. And although it's not a federal crime in the United States, some banks don't allow this and can go after you for violating your contract. That's why even the American Express website says to never let anyone else use your card. So while Cecilia was taking out loans and dealing with AMEX, Simon was using her money to travel wherever he wanted. At one point, he asked her to buy him plane tickets to the Greek island of Mykonos, which was an odd choice for someone supposedly on the run.

Mykonos is known as a big party destination, so not exactly the kind of place for someone trying to keep a low profile. But Cecilia didn't question him. She agreed to buy tickets for Simon and his entourage. This time, his so-called team included someone named Pernelia, a Swedish woman in her early 30s. Remember that name, we'll get back to her in just a bit. By this point, Cecilia had been giving Simon money for just a few weeks, and yet he'd

already blown through $250,000 and she owed money to 10 different banks. Keep in mind, Cecilia assumed her diamond-air boyfriend was good for it. Even so, she couldn't afford the steep credit card bills or loan fees. Eventually, she had to beg Simon to pay her back. He might have sensed he was about to lose her, so he wrote her a check for more than the $250,000 he owed. But when Cecilia cashed it, it bounced. At that point, she knew something was wrong. But the damage had already been done.

Panicked about the state of her finances, Cecilia called Amex and told them what happened. Representatives went to her apartment and asked to see a picture of Simon. According to Cecilia, after one quick glance, they said, that's the guy. Apparently, this wasn't the first time one of their customers had been taken advantage of by Simon. They proceeded to tell her that Simon Levyov was just one of the names he went by

and that he'd lied to her about everything. And now getting her money back was going to be a very difficult proposition. Cecilia was so shattered, she blocked Simon's number, left London and went back to her family in Norway. But it seemed like Simon took issue with losing his income stream because he had used another phone to call Cecilia

and threatened her. She told the Norwegian police about the threats, but it doesn't seem like they were very helpful. Eventually, Cecilia had to do her own digging. She contacted AMEX and learned Simon's real name, Shimon Hayatt. She looked him up and found out about his crimes in Finland, which seemed very similar to what he did to her. That's when she decided enough was enough.

Simon would pay for his crimes one way or another. Toward the end of the summer of 2018, she contacted VG, the most widely read newspaper in Norway. She sent them her messaging history with Simon and they launched an investigation. Simon had relied on the power of social media to run his cons. Now Cecilia was going to use those same tools to bring him down. By the end of 2018, the Norwegian newspaper VG was investigating 28-year-old Simon Leviev for fraud. So far, they knew he'd been arrested in Finland and had an outstanding charge in Israel. They also dug into the bank transactions of Cecilia, the latest woman he'd conned. And that's when they found a lead.

Remember, Simon claimed he needed to hide out from his so-called enemies, and Mykonos was one of the places he'd gone. Cecilia had paid for that trip. When Vigi looked into the tickets she bought for Simon and his team, they found a name, Hernilia, the Swedish woman from Simon's entourage. Turns out, she was another woman he'd met on Tinder while he was dating Cecilia. In March of 2018, they went on a date but ended up as friends. It seems like Cornelia had no idea who Simon really was because eight months later in November of 2018, Simon sent her the same alarming text about getting beat up that he'd sent to Cecilia. He also asked Pernelia for money.

According to reports, by the end of the year, Simon had taken at least $40,000 from Pernelia. Still, she was confident he'd pay her back. So when she got a message from the newspaper VG warning her about Simon, Pernilla was shocked. She forwarded it to Simon and asked, is this true? He denied it, of course. According to Pernilla, Simon promised her he was good for the money and even offered to give her his watch, which he said was worth more than what he owed her.

If she met him in Munich, she could have the watch then. Simon might have been thinking if he could get her face to face, he could convince her to forget about VG's message. Pernilla did seem to calm down and agreed to meet him. Shortly after, in late 2018 or early 2019, Simon picked her up from the airport in Munich and took her to an upscale hotel restaurant. He treated her to a meal and gave her the watch. He promised her it was worth a lot. That was another lie.

The watch was fake, but Pernelia took it. Simon must've felt relieved. He'd bought himself some time, literally. But when they left the restaurant, he saw something shocking. Across the street, a camera was filming him. He didn't know it, but the camera belonged to VG. See, Pernilla hadn't been convinced after all. She'd strung him along so she could lead VG to

Simon for a confrontation. They didn't get a chance. Simon sensed something was wrong. He jumped in a car and sped off. After the Munich debacle, Pernilla called him. She said his jig was up. She knew everything and she wasn't going to let him get away with it. Simon's first instinct was to play the victim. He said his enemies had gotten to her and told her lies. When that didn't work, he resorted to threats. His words didn't do much. In February of 2019, after a six-month investigation, VG published their story, and it went viral.

Over the next few months, Simon's face was plastered across the internet. It was a warning to women everywhere. Do not trust this man. But more than that, those who had been scammed by Simon in the past now knew they weren't alone. We don't have exact names or statistics, but according to the Netflix documentary, The Tinder Swindler, there were police reports involving Simon in at least seven different countries.

The VG article was also important for another reason. It alerted women who were currently involved with Simon, like a Dutch woman named Elaine. Simon had been with Elaine for 14 months. By the time the article came out, she had given him $140,000. Elaine was probably devastated when she read the expose. She sent it to Simon and asked for an explanation. He quickly went into damage control mode. He called her, begging her to ignore it.

He claimed it was his enemies trying to hurt him. Incredibly, it worked. Elaine believed him. It was lucky for Simon that she did. Since his face was all over the internet, he couldn't use his usual tricks to woo unsuspecting victims. The VG article completely exposed his diamond-air facade. He couldn't even leave his hideout in Prague because he didn't have any cash. Still, Simon apparently had some forged identification

at his disposal because he was able to get a new credit card under an alias David Sharone He had it sent to Elaine's and she made sure he got it But even though he had the card Simon needed more liquid assets Elaine said she could help him sell some of his clothes she worked in fashion and knew his wardrobe was top of the line and It actually was. Simon had a closet full of designer clothes. It was one of the only things he'd legitimately invested in.

Simon had Elaine fly to him in Prague to pick up the clothes. When she arrived, she seemed agitated and frantic. Allegedly, he even went to a plastic surgeon to alter his face but was turned away. Which left Simon with just a few things to rely on. His new ID as David Chiron, the incoming cash from his wardrobe sale, and Elaine's willingness to help him. He ended up giving her three suitcases full of clothes to sell and wrote her a gushy letter thanking her for sticking with him.

Elaine left and he waited for the money to arrive, but it never came. Days passed and Elaine still hadn't paid him. He texted her, but she insisted nothing had sold. The more time went by, the more he sensed something was up. That's right, Elaine had conned him just as smoothly as he had conned her. It turned out she was in touch with Pranelia and the police. The whole time she was visiting him in Prague, she had been using a poker face. And she planned to take the profits from selling his clothes to pay herself back for at least some of what he owed her.

Simon was furious, but also desperate. He kept texting Elaine, begging her to help him. He showed her pictures of him sleeping in a packed hostel and even eating someone else's leftovers at the mall. But she didn't budge. Now, theoretically, staying put was a big risk for Simon. Elaine knew he was in Prague and had probably told authorities all about his crimes.

So Simon scraped together some money and bought a plane ticket to Greece. He used his fake identity, David Chiron, and flew to Athens in July of 2019. But Elaine was one step ahead of him. It turned out, while Simon was in the air, she texted him, but the message didn't go through.

Since Simon always had his phone on him, she assumed he was on a flight. Elaine remembered he mentioned wanting to go to Greece. She checked the flights from Prague to Athens, and luckily, there was one en route. Elaine contacted the authorities and told them to check the name David Sharone, which was the name he used on the credit card he sent to her house. Sure enough, when the police checked with the airline, someone named David Sharone was on his way to Athens.

When he landed, Interpol was there, ready to arrest Simon for using a fake passport. Simon was extradited to his home country of Israel, where he still had charges waiting for him for stealing checks. And this time, they would make sure he was finally brought to justice. Sometime in the summer of 2019,

29-year-old Simon went on trial for theft, fraud, and forging documents. The charges were all connected to crimes he'd committed in Israel back in 2011. In December of 2019, he was convicted and given 15 months behind bars. He was released after five months. That meant in May of 2020, Simon was a free man again, at least in Israel where he currently lives.

Because Simon's alleged Tinder-related crimes occurred in other countries, he won't be held accountable for those unless he goes into their territory. Of course, there are plenty of people who are eager for Simon to leave. Some women have filed lawsuits against him with the European Court of Justice and have hired private investigators to nab him if he ever sets foot in the European Union again. Even if Simon is trapped in his home country, he is still a free man. It's an incredible result for someone who allegedly stole an estimated $10 million from victims around Europe.

According to the Times of Israel, Cecilia, Hernelia, and Elaine, and maybe even more, are still paying off the debt that Simon created. So how come they haven't gotten their money back? In normal cases of credit card fraud, like when someone steals your credit card and uses it, you have the law on your side. If you report those charges as fraudulent,

many banks will remove the transaction and send the money back to your account. But because these women agreed to let Simon use their credit cards and bank accounts, they were taking legal responsibility for any charges he made. As unfair as it is, Simon never put any debt into his own name. The loans and lines of credit the women took out were theirs. So the next time you're considering loaning someone your credit card,

even if you think you can trust them, take a beat. Because any debt they accrue is yours. For Simon's part, he's always denied the charges against him. According to him, he never told anyone he was the heir to the Levyov diamond fortune. They just assumed he was. That's not to say Simon left all of his troubles behind. He was banned from Tinder, and in March of 2022, the real Levyov family filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against him for impersonation, among other things. It seems like the case is still ongoing, but the Levyevs hope to get monetary compensation from Simon and anyone who worked with him. They plan to pass any money they recoup along to Simon's

victims. Even so, it feels like Simon didn't get much more than a slap on the wrist. But at least it will keep him from swiping right on anyone else. Thank you so much for listening.
