As promised, Simon has approached us again, only to request more time to submit his proofs. But we received other reports about one of his victims, Pernilla Sjoholm. She says she’s disappointed and heartbroken that a company wanted to collaborate with a criminal after knowing that Simon Leviev has a Cameo account where people can pay up to $1400 for a personalized video message for him.
The Netflix documentary “The Tinder Swindler” follows Cecilie Fjellhøy, Sjoholm, and a third woman named Ayleen Koeleman as they set out to track down Shimon Hayut (alias Simon Leviev). The women had met the dating-app user online, and they claim he tricked them out of millions of dollars.

The Other Side of Tinder Swindler
Felicity Morris (the director of Netflix’s documentary “The Tinder Swindler”) and accusers Fjellhøy and Sjoholm joined the “Tamron Hall” show in a virtual appearance. Among the topics they discussed was the latest news that Simon Leviev joined the personalized video app Cameo.
According to Entertainment Tonight, Leviev joined Cameo earlier this week. A platform is a place where fans can request personalized videos from select stars. As of publication of this article, Leviev is charging $200 for personalized video messages and $1,400 for business ones.
“To be honest, I was heartbroken to see any company to collaborate with a criminal, he is wanted, still, in Europe, so he’s just hiding in Israel at the moment,” Sjoholm said on the “Tamron Hall” show. “I think he has crimes against him, allegations against him in the US, as well, but no. It’s honestly heartbreaking.”
She further added – “I mean, we’re coming out here, sharing our story, trying to share the world a criminal and what he’s doing and for anyone to collaborate with these types of people it’s honestly, it’s very heartbreaking.”
