Katherine Goodson, a 67-year-old woman from San Diego, has found herself living out of her car after falling victim to a romance scam involving Keanu Reeves—the same one she once warned others about.
Goodson lost all of her savings to a fraudster impersonating the beloved actor, sending him more than $60,000 in funds via direct deposit, gift cards and cryptocurrency, fully convinced she was actually corresponding with Reeves.
It wasn’t the first time she had fallen for a scammer pretending to be her idol, however, as in 2022 she sent a $500 gift card after texting with a criminal, but cut communications after she heard his voice.
