A British woman believed to be one of the first victims of the Tinder scammer (pictured) claims that he was a “bed failure” and that she “had to teach him the ropes”.
One of his first victims was Britain’s Samantha Hales, 36, who said the scammer “must have really improved his game over the last ten years to make money from these girls”.
She added that he was “shadowy” and had “obviously fake” ID cards, which meant he was unable to defraud her.
“He could not make any blows in the bedroom. It was a complete failure. I had to show him the ropes.
“Even though he had this beautiful charm in him, he was extremely cold when it came to sex. He had no idea what he was doing.
She added that his antics in her bedroom are reminiscent of the famous scene from teenage sitcom The Inbetweeners’ Will (Simon Byrd), “when he thinks he’s having sex with Charlotte (Emily Attack) and just lies on top and hits her.”
But despite his lack of sexual power, Samantha said Shimon was romantic in the beginning and accommodated her in a five-star hotel in Valencia before turning the story around to being part of Mossad and Interpol.
When she questioned his story, Shimon told her she was on the run and then became nasty, telling Samantha’s friends that he had stolen money from them.

Hayut was eventually arrested and imprisoned in December 2019 in the Tel Aviv Magistrates’ Court, but was released in May of the following May after serving five months of his 15-month sentence.
“It was threatening.” He said I was nothing, if I see you again I will come for you, “she added.

The international swindler will dazzle his victims with his seemingly luxurious lifestyle of private jets, designer clothes and five-star hotels – before tricking them into giving him shocking amounts.
In a distorted Ponzi scheme, he would use the money he stole from them to lure his next target, showering them with trips abroad and hundreds of red roses and tables in VIP clubs.
In 2018, one of Hayut’s goals, London-based Norwegian web designer Cecily Felhoy (pictured), traveled to Amsterdam with more than £ 20,000 in cash to give him, thinking she was saving her boyfriend’s life.

He left his victims with suicidal feelings, crippling bank debts and agony and humiliation to discover that their relationship with him was false.
Hayut denied all charges against him, saying he was “not a fraud and not a fake”, but instead a “legitimate businessman” who made his fortune by investing in bitcoin.
In an interview with the American television program Inside Edition, he insisted last week: “I’m not this monster. I was just one person who wanted to meet a few girls on Tinder.
In the interview, he kissed his girlfriend, model Kate Conlin, on camera, while she accused his victims of creating a “fake story”.
The twice-arrested criminal lives with his blond Ukrainian-Israeli girlfriend.
Her Instagram is full of photos of her posing in skimpy clothes on their modern balcony, or a huge teddy bear and hundreds of balloons in their living room, or showing Louboutin heels in the elegant lobby of their apartment building.
The brand new building boasts five-bedroom penthouses for £ 6 million and private rooftop pools. Even the more modest three-bedroom apartments, with floor-to-ceiling windows and modern balconies, cost £ 1.2 million.
A raft home of wealthy residents – including foreign diplomats and other residents dressed in designer goods – this is one of the most sought after buildings in Tel Aviv.
This is the base from which Hayut benefits from its heinous crimes. The huge windows, always with blinds on, served as the backdrop to all his interviews, videos and business meetings.

While his victims are still struggling to clear the debts they have taken to finance his vicious frauds, he continues to take advantage of opportunities to profit from their misery.
Following the release of the Netflix documentary, he signed with Los Angeles agent Gina Rodriguez, who is a raft of celebrity-hungry customers through his agency Gitoni.
Hayut is said to want to infiltrate Hollywood, start his own dating show and host a podcast.
Although he said he wanted to clear his name when the Mail approached him with the opportunity to do so through an interview, he demanded £ 7,000 ($ 10,000) in “compensation”.
When we insisted that we thought the fee was inappropriate, a Gitoni employee suggested that the money be paid to the management company, not to the fraudster himself.
He added: “Simon has never been convicted of crimes against women in the documentary. He has also never been arrested or investigated by police on charges.
Conlin has since signed with the same company. Hayout’s other money-making schemes include charging its “fans” £ 148 for personalized greetings.
He registered on the Cameo platform, which boasts other signatures of celebrities, including Nigel Farage and John Burkow.
Merchants can ask the criminal to write down any greeting or message, from a wish for a happy birthday to a loved one to telling him to give him a bundle of money.
