The actor's team is weighing in on the viral story of a woman who was allegedly conned out of nearly $1 million by an AI Brad Pitt.
Bratt Pitt’s team has issued a response after a fan of the actor was allegedly scammed out of $850,000.technology to impersonate Pitt, sending personalized photos and messages to the woman. Anne was convinced to send nearly $1 million for a cancer treatment, with “Pitt” claiming he was unable to access his bank accounts due to his divorce from Angelina Jolie. The scammer even sent AI-generated images of Pitt in the hospital to help convince Anne to send the money.
“At first I said to myself that it was fake, that it’s ridiculous,” Anne said. “But I’m not used to social media and I didn’t really understand what was happening to me. I ask myself why they chose me to do such harm like this? I’ve never harmed anyone. These people deserve hell.” Compounding Anne’s misfortune, by going public with the scam, Anne has reportedly been the victim of “a wave of harassment,” which has also led the TV show to be withdrawn from the broadcaster’s platforms.Rudie Obias.
