Netflix: Does Dennis Haskins’ story sound crazy? You’ll love this thought-provoking film from the same creators

The Kidnapped Truth – this is the name of the documentary series that is making noise on Netflix. After Harlan Coben’s thriller Double Trap was knocked down (then lost the first place), this new production caused a strong reaction from subscribers. Some even went so far as to demand justice for the couple who were wrongly accused of inventing the kidnapping.

But before telling this incredible story, in 2022, the producers came up with an even more mind-blowing story that caused a lot of conversation: the Tinder Scammer. If the platform was subscribed to at this time, you’ve already heard about it. For others, here’s a brief summary of what to expect:

Swipe, swipe, swipe… Finding love online isn’t easy, so Cecile can’t believe her eyes when she meets a young and handsome billionaire who turns out to be every bit the man of her dreams.

10 million dollars

But dreams are sometimes far from reality, and when he learns that this international businessman has lied about his identity, it’s too late: the seductress has taken everything from him. That’s when the fairy tale ends and the story of revenge begins. Cecil identifies the rogue’s other targets and joins them. It’s no longer a question of being a victim: the Tinder cheater has found opponents of his own size.

In 2 hours, this investigative documentary explains how Simon Leviev, whose real name is Shimon Haut, managed to defraud $10 million in Europe between 2017 and 2019. The man reveals his methods: approaching the target, making them believe something, pretending to be vulnerable, asking for money, and then threatening them when they demand their payment.

Just like the truth about being kidnapped, you’ll probably be blown away by this documentary. Without giving away the ending of the story – which isn’t really over, as you can see – you’ll understand that justice isn’t always served well.

Tinder Scammer, watch on Netflix.
