‘The Tinder Swindler’ feature film in the works

The Tinder Swindler could reportedly soon be turned into a feature film courtesy of Netflix.According to Variety, the streaming giant is in early talks with producers about turning the hit documentary into a dramatisation about Israeli conman Shimon Hayut who swindled a number of women out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.Netflix declined to comment on the development of the film at the time of writing, the tone of which remains unclear.Hayut gave a new interview yesterday (February 21), in which he claimed the women in the Netflix documentary “weren’t conned”.“I’m not this monster,” Hayut said of the claims of The Tinder Swindler. “I was just a single guy that wanted to meet some girls on Tinder.”Victims Cecilie Fjellhøy, Ayleen Koeleman and Pernilla Sjoholm recently set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to repay their debts after being conned.“You’re probably here because you’ve heard about our story, and we appreciate you taking the time to search and find this page,” they wrote.

Signs and symptoms of sinister needle spiking as Love Island's Sharon speaks out

Having your drink spiked is not a new phenomenon, though it's certainly sinister and yet another thing for us all to fear while enjoying a night out with friends. For many years women have feared being drugged by someone – usually for predatory sexual purposes – by having a liquid or pill slipped into their drink. But, in the past few months, it’s become apparent that spiking has also been happening to victims via injections – often in public places such as bars. Shockingly there have been almost 1,400 incidents of needle spiking reported in the UK in just five months, and police warned last month there was a dangerous “new phenomenon” of needle spiking.
