A woman was conned into thinking she was in a relationship with actor Brad Pitt and scammed out of nearly $1 million.

Love and deception cost a French woman €830,000 in a devastating celebrity impersonation scam. She was brave enough to share the details.

As TMZ reported earlier this week, per French network TF1's show Sept à huit, the 53-year-old woman, identified as Anne, was duped out of $853,000 after believing she was talking to Pitt, with the impersonator claiming he was hospitalized.
