The Tinder Swindler,” an eye-opening documentary based on real-life events, about a notorious con man who used the Tinder dating app to defraud many women.
Netflix is currently in talks with producers about adapting the wild documentary into a movie that will likely make any Tinder user's blood run cold. Sources are saying that the conversation is in the early stages and that the possibility of a potential film is still in the pipeline.
“The Tinder Swindler” debuted on the Netflix streaming service last Wednesday and has already made it to the platform's Top 10 lists in the U.S. and U.K.
“The Tinder Swindler” is Produced by Bernadette Higgins, with executive producers, Sam Starbuck and Bart Layton for All3Media-owned Raw TV: Eric Levy and Jeff Gaspin for Gaspin Media: Lourdes Diaz and Stuart Ford for AGC Studios. The documentary is directed by Felicity Morris and tells the story of the famous and well-known Israeli fraudster Shimon Hayut, who conned quite a number of Scandinavian women into parting with hundreds of thousands of dollars by false pretense on the dating app, Tinder, under the duration of 114-minute.
The director interviews the women who were conned by Hayut as they uncover his true identity with the help of some journalists from the Norwegian newspaper, VG, and bring him to justice.
