Five Arrested in Spain for Scamming as Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt's representative issued a warning about scammers impersonating the actor on social media after five individuals were arrested for defrauding women out of over $350,000. Pitt, who has no official social media presence, emphasized the importance of not responding to unsolicited outreach from fake profiles. The Spanish Ministry of the Interior reported that the scammers posed as 'fake Brad Pitt,' promising romantic relationships and soliciting funds for non-existent investment projects. The arrested suspects are facing charges of fraud, money laundering, and forgery, with three apprehended in November and two in July. Other celebrities, including Tom Hanks and Florence Pugh, have also cautioned fans about similar scams, urging vigilance against fraudulent accounts. This incident highlights the ongoing issue of online scams targeting fans through celebrity impersonation.
