The show tells the story of an Israeli conman who scammed women out of thousands of dollars by claiming himself to be the diamond billionaire’s son.

He had reportedly used his charm to attract women from Norway, Finland, and Denmark by hopping on the dating app Tinder. Shimon convinced these women to hand over a chunk of money so that he could pay his expenses and protect himself from his “enemies”.
