Federal authorities have charged two men with operating a multi-state romance scheme that defrauded at least 26 women out of approximately $1.3 million, using a fabricated NFL persona to target victims through dating applications.
Daejon Labrayae Love, 35, and Taylor Jamie Chan, 18, face federal charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon, the duo targeted women across California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho between February 2022 and their arrests earlier this week.
