Last month, Daejon Love became an internet sensation after being arrested for defrauding at least 26 women out of about $1.3 million. Love pulled off the scam for several years with the alleged help of 18-year-old Taylor Chan. Recently, the FBI announced that the number of victims, as they predicted, might have grown by at least 35 more alleged victims.

New Update On Daejon Love Cites New Victims

FBI Initially Identified 26 Victims In Fraud Case 

When the Daejon Love news first broke in late August, the FBI had identified at least 26 alleged victim investors. These woman had handed over a collective $1.3 million to the 35-year-old posing as an NFL player over a series of years. Resurfaced social media videos showed Love practicing fitness drills while wearing 49ers gear, including a branded headband and helmet.

Together, Daejon Love and Taylor Chan presented Love as an experienced and profitable investor to women who, in large majority, believed they were in a romantic relationship with him. They created fake bank and investment accounts and exchanged investment related communications. Daejon then passed on screenshots of the fake comms and accounts to encourage victims to trust him with their money. In some cases, Love encouraged the women to take out personal loans, promising quick returns. As victims became suspicious with questions or ran out of coins to invest, Daejon Love would allegedly block them while keeping their money.

Ultimately, he and Taylor Chan were arrested on August 24 at an Idaho airport after Chan flew their to meet Daejon in a ploy to defraud more victims. This came several days after the FBI issued warrants on August 17. The criminal complaint cited conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud allegations against the men. Between July 15 and the day of their arrest, the Love had traveled to at least six states, still running the scam.
