A woman was conned into thinking she was in a relationship with actor Brad Pitt and scammed out of nearly $1 million.

A woman has been pilloried when she revealed she lost an astonishing amount of cash after being contacted by a fake Brad Pitt pleading for money. A Brad Pitt fan was scammed out of $1.4 million after she believed she was dating the Hollywood star.

The scam began with a message from someone claiming to be the actor’s mother after the victim shared photos of a lavish ski trip in the French Alps. She was contacted by an account user claiming to be Jane Etta Pitt, the Hollywood star’s mother. The scammer told her that she was exactly the woman her son needed.
