Tinder Swindler Simon Leviev BANNED from dating apps including OkCupid, Hinge and Match after Netflix exposé
TINDER Swindler Simon Leviev has been BANNED from dating apps including OkCupid, Hinge and Match.
It comes after Tinder banned the 31-year-old scam artist on Friday, after he posed as the son of a diamond tycoon and used his lavish lifestyle to trick women into giving him large sums of money.
According to a Netflix documentary, Leviev would use the money he got from one woman to turn around and seduce another with expensive presents like private jet rides or luxury hotel stays.
He would allegedly claim he was in danger from his "enemies" in an attempt to trick the women into sending him more.
The documentary features the alleged real-life stories of Cecilie Fjellhoy, Pernilla Sjoholm, and Ayleen Charlotte; all of whom claim to have been conned by Leviev.
Now owners of other dating sites have permanently blocked him from their apps in the hope it will prevent him from finding new victims.
Simon - and his many aliases - will no longer be able to sign up for OkCupid, Hinge, PlentyofFish, OurTime, Meetic, Pairs, and Match.

Earlier this week the shameless convicted conman recently posted a defence of himself and criticised the women he scammed.
“If I was a fraud why would I act on Netflix I mean they should have arrested me when we were still shooting,” he wrote.
“It’s high time the ladies start saying the truth. If you can’t give them the world they’ll turn yours to hell.”
One victim, Cecilie Fjellhøy, said she ended up in a psychiatric ward after he conned her out of £185,000 in a matter of weeks.
Another victim, Swedish business owner Pernilla Sjöholm, had just split from her fiance when she fell for the fraudster.
She parted with significant amounts of cash, and only found out when she was contacted by journalists investigating him.
Despite the pain he caused, he has still been flaunting his luxury lifestyle on social media.
The conman is seen in an Instagram video smiling as he sits in a Lamborghini, to the fury of those who’ve seen it.
One woman wrote “you will pay in hell” while another slammed him as a “f***ing scammer”.
