Cecile met Leviev on Tinder in January 2018.
She had been living in London for barely a month at the time when she found herself going out with what she thought was a globe-trotting millionaire businessman.
After their first date, Leviev lavished her with hundreds of red roses and lots of attention, but within 13 weeks he scammed her out of £185,000 in cash.
Her story was shared with the Norwegian newspaper VG and eventually made into a Netflix documentary titled The Tinder Swindler.
What has Cecilie Fjellhøy said on the Tinder Swindler?
According to Cecile in The Tinder Swindler, Leviev gave her the attention she needed: “I didn’t have a big friendship circle and he gave me the attention I needed.”
As soon as she realized his scheme, she described feeling suicidal and almost crashing her car.
During the documentary, she revealed that she was single and still searching for love on the dating app.
What happened to her after Simon Leviev swindled her out of her life savings?
Netflix’s The Tinder Swindler concluded with the revelation that no charges were filed against Simon and Cecilie Fjellhoy was unable to recover the money she provided to Simon.
Despite The Tinder Swindler being an important step in exposing Simon’s fraud, the cops won’t run after someone just for a reality show.
To this point, Fjellhoy continues to live with the same psychological traumas, while Simon lives a normal life.
