  • Fake ‘Brad Pitt’ Scams Two Women Out Of Rs 3 Crore With False Romance |

    New Delhi: Scammers impersonating famous celebrities are nothing new. In a shocking case, Spanish police have arrested five individuals for defrauding two women out of €325,000 (over Rs 3 crore) by pretending to be Hollywood star Brad Pitt. The scammers reached out to the victims via emails and WhatsApp. They faked romantic interest and convinced them to invest in bogus projects.

    How did the scammers find and target their victims?

    The scammers initially connected with the women through a Brad Pitt fan page. They built a fake sense of trust and used emotional manipulation to execute their scheme. They carefully researched the victims’ online profiles, especially on social media to find and target those who seemed vulnerable.

    Targeting Vulnerable Individuals

    Spanish authorities disclosed that the scammers specifically targeted women going through emotional struggles and personal difficulties. “The cybercriminals studied the victims’ social media profiles and created psychological profiles, discovering that both women were vulnerable, lonely, and battling depression,” Spain’s Guardia Civil police told The Guardian.

    One victim from Andalusia was scammed out of €175,000 (around Rs 2 crore), while another victim from the Basque Country lost €150,000 (over Rs 1 crore).

  • Angelina Jolie Accuses Brad Pitt Of Physical Abuse In Winery Dispute | world news

    New Delhi: American Actress Angelina Jolie has alleged that Brad Pitt was abusive towards her before the 2016 plane incident, which ultimately contributed to the dissolution of their marriage. Jolie on Thursday filed a motion to the Los Angeles Superior Court in which she asserts that she tried to sell her stake in a couple’s French Winery, Miraval to Pitt, but negotiations faltered when Pitt insisted that she sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). which prohibited Joile from speaking (other than in court) about Pitt’s abuse of her and their children, according to the filing obtained by CNN.

    The recent development originates after Pitt filed a lawsuit in 2022, in which he asserted that he and Jolie had an agreement not to sell their shares in the winery without each other’s consent. Jolie in her filing claimed that Pitt’s record of physical abuse began long before the family’s flight trip from France to Los Angeles in September 2016.

    “At trial, Jolie will prove through testimony, emails, photographs, and other evidence why Pitt was so concerned about his misconduct that he blew up his own deal to purchase Jolie’s interest in Miraval because she refused to agree to his new, expansive NDA, ” read the filing.

    American Actress Jolie asserts that she initially consented to sign an NDA focused solely on refraining from disparaging Miraval’s wine business as part of the agreement to sell her share in the winery but later on, Pitt subsequently pushed for a more expansive NDA that would have prohibited Jolie from making any negative remarks about either party in public, except from the court.

    “Mr. Pitt refused to purchase Ms. Jolie’s interest when she would not be silenced by her NDA. By refusing to buy her interest but then suing her, Mr Pitt put directly at issue why that NDA was so important to him and what he hoped it would bury: his abuse of Ms Jolie and their family,” Jolie’s attorney, stated to CNN.

    In 2008, the ex-couple purchased the Miraval estate and winery in the south of France. The legal proceedings concerning the disagreement over the property are still ongoing.

    In 2016 Jolie filed the divorce proceedings against Pitt and later in 2019 they were granted their divorce and considered legally single.
