All it took was one swipe and Cecilie Fjellhoy was hooked.

After moving to London from her native Norway, Fjellhoy went on the dating app Tinder to look for love. She said she didn't know at the time that things"would go so, so wrongly so, so quickly."

She is one of three women whose stories are told in the hit Netflix documentary"Tinder Swindler." All three say they met Shimon Hayut — Leviev's real name — on Tinder and were conned by him. The Netflix documentary,"Tinder Swindler," lays out in detail how Hayut allegedly ran his multinational con, manipulating victims into taking out bigger and bigger loans for him until they had nothing — financially or emotionally — left to give.

Hayut was no stranger to the authorities. He'd already spent two years in a Finnish prison for fraud before meeting Fjellhoy.
