A man accused of posing as a San Francisco 49ers player to scam women out of about $1.3 million appeared in a video, apparently pretending to sign with the NFL team.
quote:

Authorities say 35-year-old Daejon Love used a fake NFL persona and romantic relationships to convince women to give him money for investments that did not exist.
However, representatives for the NFL and 49ers told investigators Love had never been employed by either organization, according to an FBI affidavit.

Investigators say Love used dating apps and social media to meet women and portrayed himself as either a 49ers player or wealthy real estate developer.

Authorities say 35-year-old Love and 18-year-old Taylor Jamie Chan who allegedly posed as Love’s financial adviser, used fake investment accounts and promises of large returns to convince women to send money.
quote:

At least 26 women in California, Idaho, Oregon and Washington allegedly lost about $1.3 million. Love and Chan were arrested Aug. 24 in Boise, Idaho. Both face charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud. The FBI believes there may be additional victims.
Video in link. Might have not have been a 49er but he definitely a player

Wasn't there a documentary about this a few years ago during Covid stupidity? The Tinder Swindler, IIRC.

Saw a twitter post that was pretty funny about a fake NFL players scamming women out of millions while an NFL owner is paying $140 for women in Ohio. Their version was funnier, but I don't have time to try and find it now.

This guy totally looks like a real NFL player. He could have fooled any one of us, actually.

Well, he did finally get arrested, so there's that. Not much different than many NFL players living the thug life while making millions.

He wasn’t listed on the roster. He was the 49ers secret weapon they were saving for the playoffs and Super Bowl.

People are retarded.

NFL players don't need your money and it's comically easy to check and see if someone is actually on a roster

I like the way the camera guy says "who you signing with, what's your decision?"

Like he's a college recruit, or a free agent that all the teams want...

It’s even better that as he is signing he says his height and weight

TBH, I have zero sympathy for the people who were duped by this.

Wild story. I remember him well from his days at Bishop Sycamore.
