The documentary about the swindler won Netflix over.
Cecilia Fjelhoy, Pernilla Sjoholm and Eileen Charlotte, who suffered from the actions of the fraudster Simon Leviev, have already collected more than 80 thousand pounds, reports the Chronicle.info with reference to Focus.
After Netflix showed a documentary about & # 171; Tinder scammer» Simon Leviev and his three victims, the girls started raising money on the Gofundme fundraising platform to pay off the loans they had collected to save their lying lover, who was allegedly threatened by mysterious villains.
The victims of the Israeli Simon Leviev, whose real name Shimon Hayut, told their story in a documentary.
Levaev pretended to be the son of a billionaire, looked after him beautifully, and after some time reported that he was in danger and asked to help with money, promising to return everything. Girls gave savings, took loans from banks.
Norwegian Cecilia Fellhoy owes banks 250 thousand dollars, Pernilla Sheholm — about 70 thousand, and Eileen Charlotte gave Simon more than a hundred thousand dollars, but she managed to return some of the money by selling his branded items.
They owe banks and to other credit organizations about 600 thousand pounds. At the moment, they have managed to raise about 80 thousand pounds, which have been donated by more than four thousand people from all over the world.
The amount collected already exceeds the amount that, according to the decision of the Israeli court in 2020, Leviev had to pay the girls, — 150,000 shekels (about $34,000).
«Many people have contacted us asking if we have an account where we can transfer money to help. However, it didn't occur to us to start collecting until then. We understand that there are thousands of other worthy donation campaigns and will always be grateful if you choose to donate funds to us. All we want is to get our life back», the girls wrote on their page.
