Man Impersonating 49ers Star Busted in Shocking Scam Targeting Women—FBI Uncovers Twisted Plot

Love posed as a 49ers player while courting victims, primarily meeting middle-class women in their 20s and 30s through online through dating platforms like Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, and Facebook Dating. He claimed to be a wide receiver for the team, as well as a wealthy real estate developer and investor from Switzerland.

Chan played the role of Love’s financial advisor.

“Love convinced many of his victims that they were in sincere romantic relationships with him and that he was financially savvy and successful to gain their trust,” an affidavit obtained by USA TODAY Sports read. “Love advertised nonexistent investments, which Love claimed would generate massive returns, to his victims.

“Victims sent Love and his co-conspirator, Taylor Jamie Chan, money believing they would invest the money in legitimate investments on the victims’ behalf. Some victims also loaned Love large amounts of money believing Love would easily pay the money back.”
