How did she have to send that money?Oh, her divorce settlement after trading her millionaire husband for her fake movie star, according to the French network. BFM TV.
Fake Brad told her he couldn’t use his cash because he was going through a divorce. Angelina Jolie — which was recently settled IRL.
Anna’s brush with the fake Pete began on Facebook, where the impostor first posed as the actor’s mother. A month later, “Pete” himself slid into her messages, sparking a whirlwind “romance” that included marriage proposals and pleas for her to give up her millionaire. from her husband.
There were red flags from the start, she was only texting the fake Brad because she was “too busy” to call. But as romance scams proliferate, it’s easy to see how vulnerable people can fall for them.
