Narcissists are scammers, con artists, emotional & financial manipulators. If you have been scammed or duped, you are in good company.
“The Tinder Swindler” is the story of Cecilie Fjellhøy, Ayleen Koeleman, and Pernilla Sjoholm as they tell their stories of dating a supposed “billionaire’s son” on Tinder. They swiped right and got much more than they bargained for. The documentary sets out to track down Shimon Hayut, (who goes by the alias Simon Leviev). Cecilie, Ayleen, & Pernilla were allegedly “scammed” into lending Hayut money, which led to millions of dollars in debt.
Most people that are taken advantage of do not realize the person is likely a narcissist and qualify for a diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). In biblical terms, this is a Jezebel demonic spirit (amongst many, many others).
