The Tinder Swindler


In January 2018, Cecilie Fjellhøy and Simon Leviev matched on Tinder and after a coffee date at his hotel – The Four Seasons on Park Lane in London – he expressed regret that he had to leave for a business trip…but maybe she’d like to join him?
She googled him and he was the son of the “King of Diamonds” Lev Avnerovich Leviev, a Russian-Israeli diamond oligarch.
She quickly went home and packed a bag while his driver waited in a Rolls Royce.
It was the beginning of a whirlwind relationship that left her heartbroken and more than $200,000 in debt.
Netflix’s true crime documentary The Tinder Swindler tells the stories of Cecilie, Pernilla Sjöholm and Ayleen Charlotte – just three of Simon Leviev’s many victims.
