TWO SPANISH WOMEN LOSE $362,000 IN FAKE BRAD PITT SCAM

Police in Spain have arrested five people accused of scamming two women out of $362,000 (325,000 euros) by pretending to be Hollywood star Brad Pitt online. Both victims were contacted via a Brad Pitt fan site by fraudsters who managed to convince them that the actor wanted to invest in various projects with them. They used instant messaging platforms to exchange messages and emails with the two women until they thought they were chatting on WhatsApp with Brad Pitt himself, who promised them a romantic relationship and a future together. Both women ended up making numerous bank transfers to the person they thought was Pitt, until they realized they had been scammed and went to the police. Authorities said the scammers studied the ladies’ social networks and put together a psychological profile of them, discovering both women were vulnerable people suffering from depression and a lack of affection. Police managed to recover $95,000 of their money.
* Everybody knows Brad Pitt only uses Linked In.
* With those bad reviews for his new movie “Wolfs,” maybe he really does need the money. (* You can tell right off it’s gonna be bad ’cause they don’t even know “Wolfs” should be “Wolves.”
* I bet this was one of George Clooney’s hilarious practical jokes.
* Another year of AI development, and there’ll be a Brad Pitt FaceTime-ing women directly.
