He knew how to talk to women and it was always very well put together.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scammers&#8217; tactics proved so convincing that Anne eventually divorced her millionaire entrepreneur husband.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After building rapport, the scammers began extracting money with a modest request \u2013 \u20ac9,000 for supposed customs fees on luxury gifts. It escalated when the impersonator claimed to need cancer treatment while his accounts were frozen due to his divorce from Angelina Jolie.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A fabricated doctor&#8217;s message about Pitt&#8217;s condition prompted Anne to transfer \u20ac800,000 to a Turkish account.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14505\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14505\" style=\"width: 448px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14505\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-15-131315.png\" alt=\"Brad Pitt scam\" width=\"448\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-15-131315.png 705w, https:\/\/dailyai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-15-131315-239x300.png 239w, https:\/\/dailyai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-15-131315-10x12.png 10w, https:\/\/dailyai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-15-131315-699x878.png 699w, https:\/\/dailyai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Screenshot-2025-01-15-131315-60x75.png 60w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14505\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scammers requested money for fake Brad Pitt&#8217;s cancer treatment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;It cost me to do it, but I thought that I might be saving a man&#8217;s life,&#8221; she said. When her daughter recognized the scam, Anne refused to believe it: &#8220;You&#8217;ll see when he&#8217;s here in person then you&#8217;ll say sorry.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her illusions were shattered upon seeing news coverage of the real Brad Pitt with his partner In\u00e9s de Ramon in summer 2024.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even then, the scammers tried to maintain control, sending fake news alerts dismissing these reports and claiming Pitt was actually dating an unnamed &#8220;very special person.&#8221; In a final roll of the dice, someone posing as an FBI agent extracted another \u20ac5,000 by offering to help her escape the scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The aftermath proved devastating \u2013 three suicide attempts led to hospitalization for depression.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anne opened up about her experience to French broadcaster TF1, but the interview was later removed after she faced intense cyber-bullying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now living with a friend after selling her furniture, she has filed criminal complaints and launched a crowdfunding campaign for legal help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A tragic situation \u2013 though Anne is certainly not alone. Her story parallels a massive surge in AI-powered fraud worldwide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spanish authorities recently arrested five people who stole \u20ac325,000 from two women through similar Brad Pitt impersonations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking about AI fraud last year, McAfee&#8217;s Chief Technology Officer Steve Grobman <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dailyai.com\/it\/2024\/02\/deep-fake-scams-involving-public-figures-are-rife-on-facebook\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">explains why these scams succeed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: &#8220;Cybercriminals are able to use generative AI for fake voices and deepfakes in ways that used to require a lot more sophistication.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not just people who are lined up in the scammers\u2019 crosshairs, but businesses, too.
