We knew Brad and Angelina. Now there are Brad and Anne. In a report from the show Seven to Eight broadcast on Sunday on TF1, we discovered how Anne, a fifty-year-old French woman, had suffered a scam more improbable than a film script: for a year and a half, she will be persuaded to maintain a romantic relationship, at a distance, with Brad Pitt.
In reality, it is a false profile which phishes this interior decorator, wife of a millionaire whose couple is struggling, on Instagram. Pretending to be the American actor, the scammer seduces her and sends her photos of himself that he says he took for her alone. To extract money from him, he goes so far as to pretend that Brad Pitt suffers from kidney cancer but that his divorce prevents him from accessing his fortune. In total, his victim will give him one: 830,000 euros, in particular to finance what she believes to be the dialysis of a dying man.
