Brad Pitt's team has issued a response in connection to a viral case of a French woman who was duped of 850K USD by a scammer using AI. The woman named Anne is a fan of Brad Pitt, reported The Hollywood Reporter. Pitt's reps condemned the scammers for taking advantage of the strong connection between the fans and celebrities after they conned the French woman by pretending to be actor Brad Pitt with the help of AI. 

"It's awful that scammers take advantage of fans' strong connection with celebrities, but this is an important reminder to not respond to unsolicited online outreach, especially from actors who have no social media presence," said a statement by the actor's spokesperson. The 53-year-old French woman, named Anne, revealed that she was conned after being convinced she was in a long-term relationship with the 'F1' star.
