TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A Florida man has pleaded guilty to defrauding more than 30 women of more than $1.3 million by pretending to be a doctor on online dating services, a U.S. attorney said Thursday.

Brian Brainard Wedgeworth, 46, who formerly lived in the Florida capital city of Tallahassee and in Center Point, Alabama, used 10 different aliases as part of the scheme, U.S. Attorney Jason Cody said in a news release.

"Our citizens should not be preyed upon by fraudsters who steal through overtures of affection," Cody said.

“Our citizens should not be preyed upon by fraudsters who steal through overtures of affection,”...

Later that day, the profiles of most women on the site were also deleted for that very reason....

How does claiming you’re a doctor while dating convince women to give him $43K each?

There’s a lot of stupid and gullible men and women out there, and unfortunately, they vote.

His defense will be that he just offered to play doctor with the ladies on the dating site, but they misunderstood that it was all a game.

I don’t know about this guy. But I’ve read stories of “doctors” who need the money to open a clinic in some underserved town in the United States or elsewhere. Think of it as an investment, ladies. You’ll be doing good. And you’ll get your money back once the government funding comes through.

Of course there is no clinic.
