The woman chatted with the AI Pitt for more than a year and sent the scammer money to help with a fake kidney treatment

A French woman says she was scammed out of her life savings by an AI Brad Pitt. The 53-year-old woman, named Anne, revealed that she was scammed out of $850,000 after believing she was in a long-term relationship with the real Hollywood star.

After reportedly telling the scammer that she had recently divorced her husband, Anne sent almost all of her €775,000 divorce settlement — about $798,000 — after the fake Pitt said he had developed kidney cancer and needed a loan because his bank accounts were locked as a result of his ongoing divorce proceedings with Angelina Jolie .
