Ayleen Charlotte On Tinder Swindler
From the makers of Don’t F*** With Cats, the two-hour-long TheTinder Swindler tells the story of Israeli conman, Shimon Hayut.
Then, in Ayleen Charlotte’s part of the story, it is disclosed that it was Ayleen who orchestrated the whole arrest of Shimon Hayut, after sharing information with the police.
Shimon who is now popularly known as “Tinder Swindler” was sentenced to 15 months in prison. However, as the show proceeds, we also learn that he got luckily released after serving just five months behind bars. (It is believed this was due to a program aimed at reducing the prison population amid the coronavirus pandemic.)
On her first attempt, when the authorities were not able to offer any immediate assistance, Ayleen had decided to seek her revenge. For this, she convinced him that she was still on his side after the revelation that she knows what he has been doing.
And with her experience of working in the luxury fashion industry, she talked him into handing over his “vast” collection of designer clothes to sell them for a profit. And that is how she managed to get some of it back.
Shimon Hayut And Ayleen Charlotte’s Relationship
In the documentary, Ayleen Charlotte shared that she had been dating the pretend Simon Leviev for 14 months when an article that included an image of him caught her eye. This article, titled The Tinder Swindler, had been published by the Norwegian publication VG and outlined in great detail the stories of Cecile and Pernilla, where both explained how this man with the real name Shimon Hayut had scammed them out of thousands of dollars.
So, upon realizing that her relationship with Shimon aligned with these two women’s stories, Ayleen revealed that it left her in shock. Because at that point, she had shared her whole heart with him and thought him to be very thoughtful.
But Ayleen also soon realized that she too has been a victim of his deception as by then she had already transferred a total of $140,000 to him throughout their relationship. As with her shenanigans, Shimon had tricked her into handing over large sums of money by claiming he was on the run from serious physical threats.
