A sophisticated scam against Brad Pitt
An important scam has been dismantled in Spain, where five people managed to cheat two women out of 325,000 euros by posing as the actor Brad Pitt. Criminals targeted particularly vulnerable victims, characterized as “depressed” and emotionally fragile.
Carefully arranged style
The scammers used a very sophisticated technique. They first established contact through a fan page of the actor, and then carefully studied the psychological images of the victims. A fan from Andalusia paid 175,000 euros, and another from the Basque Country lost 150,000, both convinced that they were truly in love with the Hollywood star.
Dismantling the criminal network
A Guardia Civil investigation led to the arrest of five people in Andalusia. Police seized dangerous material, including phones, computers and even a notebook containing the sentences used to manipulate the victims. Of the total amount defrauded, investigators managed to recover 85,000 euros.
Decision
This case highlights the growing dangers of online romance scams, especially when they involve fake celebrities. It highlights the importance of surveillance on the Internet and reminds us that real stars never start romantic relationships through social networks or messaging applications.
