The 53-year-old victim named Anne said she was fooled by the scammer after she received a message on social media from someone claiming to be the actor’s mother.
Just a day later, the interior designer was sent another DM from an account posing as the Fight Club star in February 2023, which reportedly said (via Metro): “Hello Anne, my mother told me a lot about you. I would like to know more.”
Anne reportedly told French channel TF1 (via BFM TV) that she was going through a difficult moment with her husband at the time and felt she could confide in the person.
“In fact, we’re talking about Brad Pitt, I’m falling from the clouds. At first, I tell myself it’s fake, but I don’t really understand what’s happening to me. After that, we will contact each other every day and we become friends,” she said via translated text.
“There are so few men who write you this kind of thing. I liked the man I was talking to. He knew how to talk to women, it was always very well done.”
