États-Unis : un homme se fait passer pour un joueur de football américain et escroque plus de 20 femmes pour un montant de 1,3 million de dollars
A man has been charged by the FBI for impersonating an American football player and raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars through this scam. He carried out his fraud without the knowledge of about twenty women.
Love is blind, and Daejon Love tried to take advantage of it. This American man deceived numerous women by pretending to play professional American football. Using photoshopped images in uniform, posing in front of luxury cars, or with his fake teammates, the conman managed to gain the women's trust through clever schemes, reports ESPN.
Using a profile initially created on dating platforms, Daejon Love formed emotional bonds with numerous women by impersonating an NFL (National Football League) player, the most prestigious American football competition. He pretended to play for the San Francisco 49ers.
Law enforcement is monitoring the perpetrator's departure abroad.
To deceive his prey, Daejon Love, according to investigators, used artificial intelligence, which generated some extremely realistic content of him, dressed in the colors of the Californian franchise and enjoying his fortune as a top-level player.

He even shared a video of himself at the beach, wearing his helmet and working as a receiver, with the victims. The content was as unsettling as it was effective with the women he targeted.
Thanks to the trust he gained with the women he approached, the criminal then encouraged the women to send him money to put into "lucrative investments".
US authorities, who apprehended Daejon Love after he defrauded more than 20 people of $1.3 million (€1.1 million), believe he may have had an accomplice named Taylor Jamie Chen. They now fear the two could flee.
