No one likes getting scammed—whether it’s for $1 or $100. But imagine being swindled out of $850,000. That’s exactly what happened to a woman named Anne, who thought she was connecting with Brad Pitt,

The scammers apparently convinced the woman that “Brad” needed money for cancer treatment by sending her numerous AI-generated images depicting the movie star in the hospital.

After reportedly telling the scammer that she had recently divorced her husband, Anne sent almost all of her €775,000 divorce settlement — about $798,000 — after the fake Pitt said he had developed kidney cancer and needed a loan because his bank accounts were locked as a result of his ongoing divorce proceedings with Angelina Jolie .

Scammers told the woman Pitt needed funds to pay for a kidney treatment, but couldn’t access his bank accounts due to his grueling divorce from Angelina Jolie.

The woman said she had believed she was in a romantic relationship with the Hollywood star, leading her to divorce her husband and transfer $850,000.

There's getting weak-kneed at the sight of Brad Pitt on the silver screen, and then there's falling hopelessly in love with Brad Pitt, conducting a yearlong online romance, and sending hundreds of thousands of dollars to the down-on-his-luck actor for cancer treatment.
