From The Guardian of the UK
It was an elaborate scam and they made use of AI to convince the gullible woman that she was really in contact with Brad Pitt.
It would not have happened if the woman had been reading the tabloids, which feature Brad Pitt on a regular basis, with details about his private life: one ignores the traditional popular press at one's peril.
____________
Among the things Anne discussed with the person claiming to be Pitt was her large divorce settlement payment. She then received AI-generated pictures of the actor apparently in hospital, with requests to her to pay for his kidney treatment. She transferred hundreds of thousands of euros for supposed medical costs.
