A French woman named Anne was reportedly deceived by a scammer who was pretending to be Brad Pitt. The woman sent about $850,000 to a user who allegedly relied on AI images to create a celebrity persona. Anne even left her husband because she believed she was speaking with the real Brad Pitt. The scammer reportedly convinced her that he was unable to access his money for medical treatment due to his divorce from Angelina Jolie. “I’m not used to social media and I didn’t really understand what was happening to me,” Anne said in her defense. “I’ve never harmed anyone.” (Mens Journal)
