Love allegedly duped 26 women across Oregon, California, Washington, and Idaho out of more than $1.3 million by posing as a San Francisco 49ers wide receiver or a wealthy real estate investor on dating apps, including Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Facebook Dating, where he met many of his alleged victims, according to court records.

Love allegedly created fake Instagram and bank accounts to trick women into believing that he could invest their money and generate massive returns, according to KGW News. “Okay, so I’m on my way to get my mom. I know I get a lot of fans who wanna know how football works or umm… how I got involved in the league…”

“DAEJON LABRAYAE LOVE is a 35-year-old male who created fictitious personas to defraud numerous women he met primarily on online dating platforms.

Love and Chan have been charged in federal court in Portland, Oregon, with wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, according to the Los Angeles Times. Love frequently falsely portrayed himself as a wealthy National Football League player for the San Francisco 49ers or a real estate investor from Switzerland. In one Instagram Story, Love allegedly used Google’s AI Overview – potentially pulling information from fake online accounts created to support his persona – to convince people that he played in the NFL. “Daejon Love is a wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, and information about his position, contract, and teammate texting habits is available online. He is also associated with the team through various social media content and articles.”
