"Tinder Swindler" Simon Leviev, also known as Shimon Hayut, has found a new way to make money on video messaging platform Cameo. According to TMZ, Leviev is charging users for personalized videos.

"Hi everybody, I am so excited to be here on Cameo. I’m Simon Leviev. If you want any blessing, birthday or whatever shoutout, I’m so excited to be here," Leviev said in his first post. "I wish you a great and magnificent day, everybody. Take care."

One shoutout is priced at $200 USD for a fan, while businesses will have to pay $2,000 USD per video. During his first three days on the platform, Leviev reportedly earned $30,000 USD.

Meanwhile, people on Twitter feel differently about the news. "Why is this Tinder Swindler scammer allowed on your platform? Get this dude out of here," The H3 Podcast tweeted.

Most recently, Leviev announced that he signed with manager Gina Rodriguez and is working on his own dating show. Stay tuned while we wait for more details about his upcoming projects.
