We watched this last night.
I started off thinking the first woman couldn’t be real but it was a true story. An arch swindler conning women out of many thousands of £, often getting one to pay for his flash lifestyle shenanigans with another!

All started via his flash-lifestyle photos on the dating site.
A bit mind-blowing how evidently intelligent women didn’t see red lights flashing early on, but I dare say I shouldn’t be surprised any more, having heard enough similar stories.

The last woman was very sassy when she realised she’d been conned then conned him back to sell his designer gear to claw back some of the money she lost.

Watched last night, I felt for the women involved still repaying his debt but he was never charged with those offences. Only the first one in Israel. A man without morals. A lesson for us all.

I watched this last night. Felt sorry for the women he conned. What I couldn't understand was why the woman who gave evidence against him in Finland (who had a child by him) joined up with him again while he was conning other women. She also looked remarkably like the nurse in the ambulance when they faked an attack and pretended to be injured. Also why hasn't the real Leviev diamond family tried to stop him using their family name. Still a lot of unanswered questions.

We watched this too, i must say i was absolutely dumbfounded how someone could do that, how someone's mind thrived on swindling, scheming, plotting.

I mean we're not talking the odd £20 here n there, it totalled MILLIONS!!!!
