Brad Pitt’s identity has allegedly been stolen by an online catfisher who conned a French woman out of $850,000 in a elaborate scheme. The woman, known as Anne, believed she was in a romantic relationship with the Hollywood actor, only to discover that it was all a hoax orchestrated by a con artist. The scam artist pretended to be Brad Pitt, claiming he needed a loan for cancer treatments after being locked out of his bank accounts due to his divorce from Angelina Jolie.
This shocking incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of online fraud and the importance of verifying the identity of individuals before sending money or personal information. It is essential for individuals to exercise caution and skepticism when engaging with strangers online, especially when claims seem too good to be true.

I see this all day every day on every form of social media. It's sad. If anyone asks you for money or gift cards or your personal information RUN! BLOCK THEM! They will NEVER go away if people keep being victims.
How this person had that kind of money in first place😂 sorry but I find this silly.
What a dumbazz! If BRAD PITT contacted you and was into you like that … don't you think a man worth $400 million would be giving YOU $850,000 instead of you giving it to him?
How in the world would he be "locked" out of his bank accounts because of a divorce? Even IF he had to fork over $ to Angelina (which he doesn't; she's worth $120 million herself) he still wouldn't be locked out from his own money. Why would u think Brad Pitt is hurting for $?
The man gets at least $20 million a film… are u nuts? 😆💯
This is actually a really clever way to buy Brad, yk? If I had money to throw away, I’d do like $2.5M
Was he initially skeptical lol God had a people keep falling for this
She ruined her marriage just to be scammed 😂😂 and now wants her ex husband back I hope.
She ruined her marriage just to be scammed 😂😂 and now wants her ex husband back.
Brad's mother is still alive? He's in his 60s so she's definitely no spring chicken. Why would an old lady be on social media just chatting to random people 🤔 🙄 😐
Why would Brad Pitt ask anyone for money ?
Not only is she extremely stupid, but also jumped at the chance to gain favor from a handsome guy while destroying her marriage. Poor guy lost half his money to the skank and the daughter will hate for the rest of her life.
🙄
Yeah, because he needs her money. Jesus.
People should read the story before labelling it “sad”. She was so stupid. Look at the AI photos and then you will lose sympathy for her.
I cannot have sympathy for these people. I can’t. There are so many warnings out there about this that you would have to living under a rock to not know about them! These people are delusional and that’s why the scammers keep doing it! Why in the name of everything holy would this woman think that Brad Pitt would reach out to a total stranger for money???? Does she not think he would, or could, go to a friend???? My God.
From $37K to $45K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family
How dumb can anyone be to get catfished by a celebrity?
this what happens if yuore too nice
My elderly friend sold her California house for luke bryan and never made the news. This happens everyday. Believe me we tried to stop her
The photo of the surgery with his head montaged on a blue sheet to make it seem real was really really fake 😂
"Her life savings"
AKA, the money she stole from her husband when she divorced him for this scammer.
I feel very sorry for the ex husband. Poor guy, literally..
How naive are you to believe Brad Pitt would connect with you and worse ask you for money?
What's next , Paul McCartney needs 20k for rent!
How could someone that stupid have so much money!😮😮
Wow and I thought I had BAD luck! Unless a relative has an emergency situation, don't loan or give out big somes of cash and unless it's your BFF of 30 years or your spouse, never ever share details of your money situation with anyone, ever! 850k? That's insane! To me 100 bucks is a lot of money considering what the average adult makes in a pay check each week after taxes😮🤷♀️🤷♀️🤦♀️🥺
