A woman in has been scammed after she became convinced that she was in a relationship with Hollywood actor, Brad Pitt.

The 53-year-old victim, who gave her name as
Anne, is the latest woman to fall for the "Fake
Brad Pitt Scam" after several cases were
reported in Spain in 2024.

The interior designer told French channel TF1
that the nightmare began in September 2023
when she received a message on Instagram from “Jane Etta Pitt, the actor’s mother – or so they claimed.” Their chat quickly turned to Brad Pitt and how the two would make a great romantic match.

Anne was told by the fraudster posing as Brad's
mum: "It is a woman like you that my son needs."
The very next day that another ed her, writing: "Hello Anne, my mother told me a lot about you. I would like to know more."

At first, she suspected it may be a scam, but she soon fell in the fraudster’s tangled web of deceit.

Anne recalled being flabbergasted that she was actually speaking with Brad Pitt, adding: "At first, I thought it was fake, but I could not understand what was happening to me.

"After that, we would each other every
day and we became friends."



At the time, she was going through a rough
patch in her personal life and her relationship
with a millionaire entrepreneur, 19 years her
senior, was in tatters, newspaper Sud Ouest
reported.

Posing as Brad Pitt, the fraudster sent her
poems and songs and AI photos to look like the
actor.

"He knew how to talk to women, it was always
very well done," Anne said.

He started buying her luxurious bags, but told her that she had to pay for customs. This is how Anne lost her first €9,000 (£7,580).

Eventually, the scammer, still impersonating the actor, claimed that he had kidney cancer and needed money for treatment.

He told Anne that his ex-wife Angelina Jolie
had frozen his bank s and he had no
access to his fortune.

Fake photos of Brad Pitt in a hospital bed,
strapped to an IV machine, soon followed and
the victim was convinced.



She eventually transferred 830,000 euros
(£697,000) to help with what she believed was
cancer treatment for the film star.





It was only after Anne saw pictures of Brad Pitt
with his new girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, in the
newspapers that she began suspecting the
scam.

The victim went to the French police with the
story, who then launched an investigation in he
summer of 2024.

Following the con, BFMTV reported that Anne is
currently hospitalised in a clinic, with severe
depression.

This is funny because despite the poorly photo shopped images, she still looseguard.

The older they are, the harder they fall.

This kind of story is the reason why I believe juju (voodoo) is real. If no be juju be this, how can someone fall heavily for this kind scam even with the poor photo editing?

oga the crime here is romance scam. Nigerians are the ones into romance scam. Those countries you mentioned are into advance fee fraud. Most fraudsters arrested for romance scam are 99% Nigerians when caught by FBI or interpol.

And majority of Benin people I know are into fraud. Like 95%

I don't blame her. It's very convincing

It was only after Anne saw pictures of

That Brad Pitt might be in Benin or Owerri now.
