A man was accused of pretending to be a San Francisco 49ers player to defraud women, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Oregon.

A man was accused of pretending to be a San Francisco 49ers player to defraud women, according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Oregon.

Beginning in February 2022, Daejon Labrayae Love, 35, and Taylor Jamie Chan, 18, created fictitious investments to defraud numerous women in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and California, according to court documents.

Authorities said both men were arrested when Chan flew from California on Monday to meet Love in Boise, Idaho. Both were charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud.

Love would meet most of the women through dating apps and pretend to have a lavish lifestyle on social media, falsely portraying himself as a 49ers player or a wealthy real estate investor, according to authorities.

The attorney’s office said Love convinced victims they were in sincere romantic relationships with him, that he was a sophisticated investor and that Chan was his “investment adviser,” who helped Love to grow a fortune of tens of millions of dollars.
