The entire world got shaken up by The Tinder Swindler, one of the most-watched Netflix documentaries about self-acclaimed Israeli diamond mogul, a fake billionaire Simon Leviev. Between 2017 and 2019, Simon allegedly conned women he met on Tinder to an estimated $10 million.
However, Simon Leviev is not your typical fraudster. He is a perfectly calculated man. He presented himself as an extremely successful, wealthy man. Here are five ways you can protect yourself from fraudsters like Simon Leviev.
Healthy long-term relationships require compromise, shared hardship, and ongoing communication lessons. Usually, if it’s too good to be true, it’s the sign to run as far and as fast as you can.
When you understand why people do what they do, when you know how to spot a narcissist or a psychopath, the signs of someone being not genuine, you will know how to avoid Tinder swindlers.
There is a reason why you feel safe and comfortable around certain people and why others could make you question even your own name. Your intuition is there for a reason, and when something does not feel right, it is important to address it.
Just because someone buys shoes that cost your month’s rent, it does not mean that you have to follow their lead. Stay in your lane to avoid being conned by men like Simon.
