Captain Jack Sparrow has struck again!
A 68-year-old Omaha woman told police she was scammed out of $15,000 by a man who claimed he was Johnny Depp.
The scam happened last month, according to a police report. The woman told police “Depp” first contacted her through the Meta app Messenger and then from various phone numbers. The man told the woman he wanted to marry but needed $10,000 from her to afford a wedding planner because, according to the report, “he had his money tied up in different things.”
At the man’s request, the woman sent him the money through her credit card. Although it appeared the man had repaid the money, the woman ended her involvement as she sensed the scam. The woman later discovered the man canceled the $10,000 repayment and took another $5,000 from her.

She’s 68- old enough to know better. Unless she has full-bliwn dementia (which I don’t know because I haven’t read the whole article- this being an FR tradition).

A 68-year-old woman thinks Johnny Depp would be interested in her out of the blue?

Unless she has dementia, there’s no excuse for being so stupid.
Beside, who’d give money to that degenerate millionaire anyway?

Didn’t there used to be a support group for women who love Johnny Depp too much?

He told her he was marrying another woman.And yet he contacted this woman out of the blue. And she thought that was on the up-and-up?
