DFPI — Victim narrative (California)

A California victim was contacted on Tik Tok and Instagram by five different accounts impersonating a famous actor. In one of the contacts, the imposter proposed that the victim send them $30,000 so they could “invest” together. Ultimately, the victim sent the imposter about $4,700 in Bitcoin and gift cards, which is now lost.

Estimated loss: $30,000
