An elderly woman thinks she is dating Johnny Depp and loses more than 200,000 riyals for fraud

I’m dating him, but I don’t know if he’s dating me! Johnny Depp didn’t even know it, but he had a Brazilian girlfriend while in a legal battle with his ex-wife, Amber Heard. That’s right, the actor is involved in a Brazilian lawsuit between an elderly woman and a bank in São Paulo.

According to columnist Rogério Gentile, a 61-year-old woman who was talking to a fake profile on Instagram, the scammer was impersonating a Pirates of Caribbean actor and making several promises to the lady.

The talks were to start in 2020, at the height of the pandemic and that made everything look a lot healthier. According to the victim’s account, the fraudster began to demand money so that he could pay off the convictions that Depp was suffering from in American justice. It should be noted that at that time the actor was actually in a lawsuit against Amber Heard.

Then the retired woman decided to sell her car and house to raise the value of another 200,000 riyals. The 61-year-old still believes that she will live in Los Angeles, United States with the actor. The whole lie was discovered by the victim’s son who wondered to whom such a huge sum was given. He instructed his mother to file a lawsuit with the Brazilian Justice Organization to try to recover the amount deposited into the fraudster’s account.

Judge Clarissa Alves rejected the prosecution’s request, which alleges the man created a fake bank account, but the victim must appeal the case.
