He really fell for this Friends’ request.
A gullible British man was scammed by an online catfisher — believing it was a hard-up Jennifer Aniston madly in love with him.
Paul Davis, 43, told The Sun he paid out non-refundable Apple gift cards after being sent messages he believed were from the “Friends” star blowing him kisses and holding up a sign reading, “I love you.”
“I’ve had fake videos from Jennifer Aniston saying she loves me and asking for [about $270],” he told the UK paper of the scam using AI images. “I believed it – and I paid.”
The unemployed Brit from Southampton fell for the scam even though the supposed Hollywood superstar said she needed his help to pay for her Apple subscriptions.
“Are you there my love,” the scammer asked him in one exchange. “My subscription is about to expire.
He believed it, he said, because he was sent a photo supposedly proving it was Aniston’s driver’s license, then some audio clips that sounded just like Brad Pitt’s ex-wife.
Davis said scammers had messaged him incessantly, with others pretending to be tech giants Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Does this mean that the Swedish Bikini Team doesn’t really love me?
:(
Wow! He didn’t realize she makes 20 million a year on friends repeats alone? He sure was dumb.
A fool and his money…
Weird.
Why are they referring to me as a Brit?
He should be a Nigerian Prince by now!
Jenifer Aniston, Jenifer Aniston, Jenifer Aniston? Hahahahahahaja. Not worth looking at twice .....
i would happily pay jenn’s bills
right after we consummate the relationship
i knew it!
they are cheating on me
Sooner or later, everyone will have dated Jennifer Aniston.
This bloke just got ahead of himself.
Are soon parted.
How many apples did she eat?
Unfortunately.
Why is this news? I think they cover things like this to keep people stupid.
Now I’m starting to think it’s not Jen, but just a drawing her.
I despise internet scammers....
That said; Anyone THIS dumb yet allowed to go without close supervision, deserves to be scammed.
Not at all ... they just told me their headed over to your place as soon as they're done with me! (Now, where's my bank card?)
Davis said scammers had messaged him incessantly,
We got us a live one here ...
“ A fool and his money”
Sounds more like “a fool and taxpayers money” since he is unemployed and probably living on unemployment benefits. I thought we American’s were dumb but this one takes the cake! Besides, Jennifer and I have been sexting partners for years and I know she would never cheat on me.
