The subject of a hugely popular Netflix documentary has been banned from several dating sites after allegedly defrauding women he met on Tinder.
After the documentary was released online, Match group, the company that owns Tinder, OKCupid and Plenty of Fish banned Simon Leviev from their services.

The documentary alleges that Israeli Simon Leviev, whose real name is Shimon Hayut, posed as a wealthy son of a diamond dealer, who would take women on extravagant dates before asking them for larger and larger sums of money.
He then used the money to take other women on further dates, forming a romantic ponzi scheme that allegedly enabled him to steal as much as $10 million from the women he met on Tinder.
The Israeli was eventually arrested in Greece in 2019 for using forged documents and spent five months in prison in Israel. He's also threatened to sue Netflix for defamation, telling them that "everything is based on a lie."
