The Mumbai Police on Monday filed a First Information Report (FIR) against an unknown individual who allegedly impersonated Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves to cheat a 69-year-old fan financially. The impersonator duped the woman of Rs 65,000 by allegedly demanding Indian currency to ‘buy a flight ticket to come to India’ to visit the woman victim.

Complaint filed against Keanu Reeves impersonator 

A complaint was lodged by the woman's daughter at the Versova police station. The woman alleged that the fraudster gained the trust of her mother, who lives alone at her house in Versova. The fraudster also allegedly manipulated her into believing that she was communicating directly with Reeves. The FIR mentions that the victim’s daughter, who lives in London, has access to her emails due to the elderly woman’s deteriorating mental health issues.
