Yosef Proizer

Yosef Proizer is an Israeli man who gained notoriety for impersonating a rabbi and defrauding women through online dating platforms, including OkCupid and Tinder. Between 2016 and 2023, he created a false identity under the name 'Jake Segal,' luring women into intimate relationships based on deceitful representations of his lifestyle and personal circumstances. Proizer was ultimately convicted of multiple counts of fraud, leading to a sentence of 20 months in prison, which was viewed by some as a symbolic penalty given the severe impact of his actions on numerous victims.
