Tinder Swindler victims set up GoFundMe

Cecilie Fjellhøy, Ayleen Charlotte and Pernilla Sjöholm in "The Tinder Swindler" Netflix

The women on Netflix's documentary "The Tinder Swindler" may have successfully sought revenge after publicly outing infamous love scammer Shimon Hayut. But their efforts to retrieve the large sums of money they were all scammed out of is still ongoing.  

Earlier this week, Cecilie Fjellhøy, Pernilla Sjoholm and Ayleen Charlotte collectively launched a GoFundMe page to help them clear their debts. The three victims all met Hayut on the dating app Tinder, where he posed as "Simon Leviev" — the swanky son of Israeli diamond tycoon Lev Leviev — and meticulously conned them out of millions of dollars. In 2019, Leviev was extradited to Israel and served just five months of a 15-month sentence.
