SWIPE LEFT
The Tinder Swindler viewers all have the same complaint about Simon Leviev true crime doc

A synopsis for the true-crime doc reads: "Swipe, swipe, swipe… It’s not easy to find love online, so when Cecilie matches with a handsome billionaire playboy, she can’t quite believe it when he turns out to be the man of her dreams.
"But dreams aren't reality and by the time she discovers this international businessman isn’t who he says he is, it’s too late. He’s taken her for everything.”
Since launching on the streaming service on Wednesday, viewers have spared no time in watching the entire thing.
Taking to Twitter, one person penned: "Currently binging The Tinder Swindler."
Someone else wrote: "Was waiting for this documentary on Netflix. What a crazy, crazy story. Definitely worth streaming."
Another viewer added: "Have y’all watched The Tinder Swindler? I can’t be gasping on my own!"
Not everyone was impressed, however, as one viewer tweeted: "The Tinder Swindler is one of the dumbest stories that I have ever seen."
A second added: "Jesus, this Tinder Swindler documentary is seriously stressing me out."

Other people were simply baffled at how conman Hayut managed to convince the women to travel with him and give him money.
The 33-year-old previously served three years in Finnish prison for defrauding several women in order to fund his lavish lifestyle of fast cars and luxury hotels.
The Tinder Swindler is available to stream on Netflix now.
