The victim was speaking with an individual posing as the actor through a fan club. The story ended with a scam of 170,000 euros.

Brad Pitt has always been one of the most acclaimed actors in the world, either through his professional career or through his private life, as Angelina Jolie’s partner for years. In addition, his physique has always attracted the attention of many of his followers. This week the alleged scam of a woman born in Granada who she believed to have been talking to the actor himself for several months has come to light. The story ended with a scam of 170,000 euros and having grabbed several headlines throughout these days.

The victim is a middle-aged woman who lived in Granada with her mother. She was not married and did not have children. It all started in 2022 when she, through a Brad Pitt fan club, started talking to a user posing as the actor. The culprit sent her messages of love and expressed her intentions to marry her.

In fact, he reproached him on some occasion because he had seen him at such and such a festival in the company of another woman.”

The reasons that made the victim send him money was that the group of scammers (since there was more than one person involved) told him that he was coming to Spain and promised to shoot a movie together, but he had to pay the costs. . The woman from Granada had an inheritance of 170,000 euros, which ended up in the hands of criminals. “It is not that she is a millionaire, far from it. She had recently received an inheritance and that is why she had that capital,” said the lawyer in the ‘Ideal de Granada’. The lawyer has also explained that the victim was giving him the money little by little. The woman discovered that he was not the real Hollywood interpreter when he never showed up after telling her that he was going to Spain to meet her.

Another notable fact in this story is that, instead of disappearing, the criminals came to pose as investigators for organizations such as the FBI or the UN to carry out the case. Due to the seriousness of the matter, the victim hired the services of the lawyer to find a solution. However, Estella Aroza warned him that this process could be long. “You have to be aware that it will take us seven or eight years to reach a possible outcome. We understand that, in addition to the scam, there may be alleged negligence on the part of the bank. There are regulations to prosecute money laundering that may not have been fulfilled”, explained the lawyer.
