Simon Leviev is the talk of the town after hundreds of South Africans watched his Netflix documentary, Tinder Swindler. Leviev lived a fraudulent life pretending to be the heir of a diamond company and conned young women into crippling debt.
If you didn't watch Tinder Swindler on Netflix then you're probably not in the loop about Simon Leviev. The documentary follows women who were led to believe that they had matched with a wealthy young diamond tycoon when in fact they were a part of a money-laundering syndicate.
Leviev would whoo the women with private jets, five-star hotels, trips abroad, etc. and make them buy into this idea of luxury before he pulls the biggest con. Simon would make the young women take out loans and credit cards to "help" him escape his enemies. Blinded by love, three women found themselves with almost half a million dollars worth of debt.
Saffas had the documentary trending on Netflix and took to Twitter to share their hysterical reactions to the dating app fraud.
