The scammer pretended to be the 26 -year -old rock star, which recently launched alone, creating a false Facebook profile. He then contacted this great admirer of the singer in mid -April, offering him a place for his concert. Then he was interested in her for a long time, sending her messages to Telegram daily.
“I was captivated”
“It seemed curious, attentive, he wrote me beautiful prayers. I was subjugated, delighted,” said the Parisian who wrote his first novel at that time in a love story that involved Damiano David.
The imposter continues to congratulate his prey. “I really like you. Without my fans, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” he wrote. Or “I want you to consider me a friend”, “I can’t wait to meet you”, “Your passion and your enthusiasm tell a lot.”
The forties are linked to a certain “Kristen”, which aims to be the personal assistant of Damiano David. In his profile photo, this “Kristen” is “represented as a jovial woman, a bottle of champagne in her hand,” he specifies Le Parisien.

“I thought I would die”
Enjoying and pressing the scam more and more, the secretary has asked for accounts several times, but the grazers, these online criminals pointing in particular to the isolated women, continued to return their brain and reproached him for his distrust. However, he ended up signing “a contract ensuring that he was reimbursed.”
But to find their money, the victim must “open an account in a hidden bank where the sum of $ 19,800” will appear and pay in parallel rates of $ 2,100. This is the last sum that will pay criminals.
“When I noticed my little savings, I thought I would die. This guilt will follow me until the end of my days. I was so low grip. We played in my feelings, my personality, we abuse my weakness, my confidence …”, testifies, bitter. She filed a fraud complaint in mid -July.
A “scam with feelings” that echoes Anne’s very public history, the 53 -year -old woman whom a false Brad Pitt highlighted 830,000 euros a few months ago.
