Anna met the fake Brad Pitt in 2023. At that time, the victim was vacationing with her husband and daughter at a ski resort. To share vacation photos, she created a social media account, where she met the “Hollywood star.”

She was contacted by someone claiming to be Brad Pitt’s mother, trying to arrange her son’s personal life. Later, the “actor” himself reached out. The scammer, pretending to be the star, generously courted Anna, giving her expensive gifts. However, the fraudster asked the woman to send him five thousand euros (530,848 rubles – Editor’s note) so that the package would easily pass through customs.

Then, larger sums were requested. The fake Brad Pitt confessed that he needed money for kidney cancer treatment. The scammer explained his difficult financial situation due to his accounts being frozen because of a divorce from Angelina Jolie.

Anna had doubts about the truth of the story, as the real actor was already dating Ines de Ramon. Then, the fraudster found a way to convince the Frenchwoman. He began sending her photos and news reports created by AI. The woman believed the scammer and continued communicating. She lost her head from the compliments and love messages.

The Frenchwoman didn’t hesitate to spend money on her lover, and in total, she sent him 830 thousand euros (88 million rubles – Editor’s note). Their correspondence continued for two years. Anna even broke up with her husband for “Brad Pitt.” But disappointment awaited her. Upon seeing a photo of the real actor in the arms of Ines de Ramon, the woman realized she had been deceived.

Because of the affair with her virtual lover, she lost not only money but also had a falling out with her daughter. Unable to cope with the stress, Anna was hospitalized for depression, reports Het Laatste Nieuws. But she still went to the police to punish the scammer.
