If you’re thinking of divorcing your millionaire husband for Brad Pitt… maybe make sure he’s REAL first.
A 53-year-old woman in France got scammed out of $850,000 by a fake Brad. The scammer first pretended to be Brad’s mom, and said she was exactly the woman that her son needed.
The victim then received messages and A.I. photos from fake Brad for a year and a half, like poems and even a marriage proposal. The scammer started asking for money by saying they’d send her luxury handbags if she paid for the customs bill.
Eventually, fake Brad claimed he was hospitalized with kidney cancer and needed money for treatment because his bank accounts were frozen due to his divorce from Angelina Jolie.
The woman even received emails from a fake doctor that said Brad was fighting for his life, so she transferred money to a Turkish account.
She realized last summer it was a scam when she saw photos of Brad with his girlfriend Ines de Ramon.
She had to be hospitalized for severe depression. Quote, “I ask myself why they chose me to do such harm like this? I’ve never harmed anyone. These people deserve hell.”
It’s unclear if the scammer was ever caught.
