A spokesperson for Brad Pitt reacted to the fraud case suffered by Anne, 53 years old. The latter was cheated out of no less than 830,000 by a thug who posed as the famous American actor and who made her believe he was having a romantic relationship.
After the scale that this story took, the clan of the famous actor Brad Pitt ended up reacting. As a reminder, Anne, aged 53 and an interior decorator by trade, was scammed by a fake Brad Pitt. Following the waves of cyberharassment suffered by the woman, TF1 decided to remove her report from all its platforms.
“It’s awful that scammers are taking advantage of the strong connection fans have with celebrities”said the actor’s spokesperson, according to The Parisian. He also added that this matter “is an important reminder not to respond to unsolicited online messages, especially from actors who do not have a social media presence.”
Originally from Nigeria
According to Marwan, the founder of a company to help victims of scams occurring on the web, the scammer comes from Nigeria.
The latter, who was asked by TF1 to give his expert opinion, says he managed to identify the web hacker thanks to banking information and tracking of the money sent by Anne. He then sent him a link which the man in Nigeria clicked on which allowed him to access his phone.
