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 is either a very trusting person, or has dementia-
Well, there’s stupid...and then there’s stupid.
I’m mistaken for Elvis quite often, but women only throw their hotel keys, and occasionally their panties, at me. Of course, I don’t take advantage of them. Wouldn’t be right.
I’m calling bs on that story
Just wait until AI gets going full speed you’re not going to be able to tell real from fake online , like the $2 for iPhone 15 from a faked MrBeast ,LOL
Two bits says she voted for Biden. Stupid is as stupid does.
LOL
she thought the cash flow was a lil low in the Depp household???
yeah, there is a show on TV called catfish- there is a special place in hell for people that prey on the vulnerable-
We had a football player kill some guy for doing it. The guy was such a dirtbag, the player got away with it.
Believe it or not, this is fairly common on the dating sites.
Guys get calls from what I call “underwear models”.
Women get calls from guys that “to marry them” but need cash.
Both are scams.
unless she actually knows JD personally, why would she think he’d call her, of all the people on the planet?
Just an imbecile.
