The best watched documentary in 2022 on Netflix is the controversial documentary ‘The Tinder Swindler’. In it, the makers speak with three victims of Simon Leviev. The 33-year-old Israeli fake billionaire cheated women of hundreds of thousands of dollars via Tinder. One of them is the Dutch Ayleen Charlotte. Ayleen Charlotte hesitated for a long time about participating in the documentary ‘The Tinder Swindler’.

With her contribution to the Netflix documentary and sharing her story as a speaker at events, she wants to warn people about scams because it can also happen to you. She also wants to inspire and motivate victims of fraud and give them the strength to regain trust.

Ayleen Charlotte was thrown into the public eye when she came forward with her story in The Netflix documentary The Tinder Swindler. From the 2nd of February 2022 over 200 countries saw her (until then) private story for the first time and she won the GASA (Global Anti Scam Alliance) Award for Scam Fighter Person of the year 2023.

Why Ayleen Charlotte want to share her story, and what she would like to achieve can describe best in these three purposes.

1) Breaking down the shame and taboo on Fraud.
2) Teaching government agencies, banks and companies to learn from her story and changing policies, systems and processes to detect and prevent fraud.
3) Inspire and motivate victims of fraud and to not take no for an answer.
