Speaker 1 (00:01):
Dashy Morning show with DJ FOURGN. It's such a morning Bustin's.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Number one for hip hop jamm in ninety four or five. Now,
this is the sadness in which I feel for this
this woman. Is it sadness though I don't know stupidity,
It's something.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Sadness, it's something fombination.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
So this was the perfect storm. May I add because
this woman, this French woman, was in the midst of
a big time divorce. She was divorcing her ex husband
who was twice her senior guy was like a millionaire,
and she was just sad and lonely. And again, perfect
storm for somebody pretending to be Brad Pitt to reach
(00:49):
out to her. And I mean she was the perfect sucker.
Fifty three year old interior designer named Anne An. In
the end, you got gave money to a man who
was claiming to be Brad Pitt. When I say claiming,
I mean sending the worst fake photos of his head
(01:11):
crapped on to someone else's body, holding up pictures that
says love you, Anne.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Even if you're sixty, I think you can tell the
bad photoshops like these are so obvious.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
It was ai. It was trash it wasn't good. We've
seen some really good work AI wise, not good, No
sloppy guys. She sent this man eight hundred and fifty
thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And that's the issue, right, eight one.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Hundred and fifty thousand dollars. We're not talking about one
thousand dollars here or there. He started out by scamming her, saying, Hey,
I want to send you a Birken bag, but I'm
gonna have to pay customs fees for that, so send
me the custom fee, which is nine grand. Then it
turned into I need a serious surgery and I don't
have the money. Brad Pitt. Yeah, the one of the
best actors in the world. Wait a second, doesn't have
(01:59):
the money for the surgery. Is asking you to pay
custom fees?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Honey, I'm pretty sure it is networth it.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
You're fifty three. You ain't dead in the brain like
you would think.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
After one hundred thousand she would be like, all right,
I need to meet up something like that.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
She's getting nuts. Her daughter told her, you gotta stop.
This is not Brad Pitt. You're going to look so
stupid and you're gonna be so mad at yourself. She
wouldn't believe it, she said the words in which he
was saying, she really knew it was him. She was
in love. Do you want to know how she eventually
found out it was not real. She was watching the
(02:33):
news and she saw Brad Pitt out and about with
his real girlfriend and was like, wait a second, in
the hospital you just had surgery that I paid for.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Didn't she think that if he was in the hospital
would make the news that she would see about it right,
so obvious.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That maybe it would even hit the news that Brad
Pitt has a new girlfriend who's fifty three years old,
and she's French and she's an interior designer and she's
going through a divorce.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Probably what we hear these stories like all the time
after shout there is really real. It's because people want
to believe that they're falling again.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
If you look at someone I think I posted it
on Ashley The aim and the stories like it's a
you could clearly head's too big, the hospital, it looks nuts,
and you just went along for the ride because you
wanted to believe that bradpid was inting on you.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
The one picture, the one picture that got me, is
him holding up a little postcard that says Anne looking
like her own daughter tried to save her. But again
it gives like it's giving sadness. Now, this is a
This is obviously a scam on a crazy level because
that's a lot of money. But Forren, tell everybody about
the easy pass one because I got it too.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Yeah, so everybody's been getting these because I got it
announcing going viral. You're gonna get a text that says
something about that you owe easy Past six dollars and
ninety nine cents, and then it says something about click
a link. And I don't know what happens from that
because you shouldn't be clicking it.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
We don't click miscellaneous links, wipe right and black.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Whoever that caller is or that text message is. I
got these all the time, like when I'm getting up
and I don't how they know this. When I'm getting
a package, all of a sudden, I'll get a price
like saying, oh, your package has been held in customs
or we can't deliver it. You need to call us
or click this link, and I'm like, how do you
know that? I even got a package on the way.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
And the tough part is for like the boomers like
our parents, like my dad will call him and he'll
be like, hey, the post office just text me. They're
they're trying to send me a package. They couldn't get
it to me, so they want my social.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Johnson from down the hall actually got scammed from his
bank account, right, they took all his money.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
How much do you think they took from him? I
think thousand probably why he came I know.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
The number and I'm not sure if he said on air,
but it.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Was it was.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
It was more than five thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I'll say that it was a lot of butt. He
got the cash, actually.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Got everything, but they had they played him like a fiddle.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
They called him.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It was like they said they were Chase Bank. He
was like, okay, what do you need. Here's my social,
here's my wife's social. Do you want my kids? Like
he gave everything up, they.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Should have this. First off, there was another scam where
they show up to the old people crib and they
tell them, oh, you know, we're doing landscaping or we're
fixing the road down the street. You want us to
do your soup, We'll give you a fantastic deal. And
they're like okay, ten thousand, here you go. Never show up.
Another one is that they call these old people and
tell them, oh, this is your grandson or your granddaughter.
I'm in Texas. I got into an accident. I'm about
(05:20):
to go to jail because whatever I hit had a
baby and they died. And now I'm about to be
in jail. I need lawyers, and they have somebody else
call us. The lawyer being like, yo, we need like
eight thousand dollars right now to get him out of jail.
Oh my god, here take it, and they take it.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's crazy. It happened to y'all.

He's like yes, Ashley, he's in a prison. He was
able to reach out to only me, and then he
