Tinder Swindler Brit victim claims he was 'hopeless' and 'total flop' in bed

A British woman who is thought to be one of the Tinder Swindler's first victims has claimed the fraudster was "hopeless" in bed.

Samantha Hales, 36, from Derby, says Shimon Hayut told her he was a Mossad spy and pilot.

Shimon, who posed as Simon Leviev, is alleged to have swindled thousands from unsuspecting single women on dating app Tinder.

Mum Samantha also claims Shimon turned nasty after the pair had dated for a month.

She told The Sun : "He must have really improved his game in the last ten years to get money out of these girls.

"He couldn’t pull any strokes in the bedroom. He was a total flop. I had to show him the ropes.

"Even though he had this beautiful charm about him, he was extremely cold when it came to sex. He had no idea what he was doing."

Samantha shared that Shimon's sexual "prowess" reminded her of the scene from Inbetweeners when Will (Simon Bird) "thinks he’s having sex with Charlotte ( Emily Atack ) and he’s just lying on top jabbing her".

She first met Shimon on dating site Plenty of Fish in 2012 and says she was taken to a five-star hotel in Valencia when she was on holiday there.

Samatha alleges Shimon told her he was part of Mossad, but when she started asking questions, he became "very shady" and would dodge the topic.

She says he pulled out "fake" plastic identity cards which had his picture and Interpol written on it.

"Then he flipped after he said he was on the run," Samantha added. "He became really nasty to me because I questioned him. He told all my friends that I’d stolen money from him."

The mum added that Shimon started sending her "abusive messages and calls" and told her "if I see you again I’ll come for you".

Shimon was later convicted in Finland and Israel for fraud.

Samantha added how her ex went on Tinder “to meet some girls”, and claims to be “the world’s biggest gentleman”.

She concluded: “He is just one big fat liar and in denial of himself. People need to be warned.”
