Over 35 Additional Women Accuse Man of Posing as NFL Player in Fraud Scheme
Federal authorities report that more than 35 additional women have come forward with fraud allegations against Daejon Love, who is accused of posing as a San Francisco 49ers player. Love and an alleged accomplice, Taylor Chan, were arrested in August on wire fraud charges involving an estimated $1.3 million.
The FBI announced on Friday that the number of women reporting fraud by 35-year-old Daejon Love has grown significantly. Love, who allegedly masqueraded as a San Francisco 49ers player and a wealthy investor to deceive victims, was initially charged last month alongside 18-year-old Taylor Chan. Authorities state that the pair met many of their victims through dating applications, eventually defrauding them of approximately $1.3 million.
According to federal investigators, Chan allegedly assisted the scheme by posing as Love’s financial adviser. The two were arrested in August and currently face formal charges of wire fraud. While the FBI has confirmed the influx of new reports, the legal defense for the accused has not yet provided a public statement. A public defender representing Love and an attorney for Chan did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the new allegations. The case remains under active investigation as federal authorities continue to process the reports from the additional victims.
