FBI arrests pair accused of posing as 49ers player in $1.3 million scam

  • FBI arrested Daejon Love and Taylor Jamie Chan over an alleged dating and investment scam.
  • About $1.3 million was allegedly taken from 26 victims in four states.
  • Authorities say the scheme began in February 2022 and continued until the Aug. 24 arrests.

Federal authorities arrested Daejon Love, 35, and alleged accomplice Taylor Jamie Chan, 18, on Aug. 24 in Boise, Idaho, accusing them of posing as a San Francisco 49ers player and defrauding 26 women of about $1.3 million. The pair faces conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud charges, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Oregon. Authorities say Love used fictitious personas on dating apps, supported his claims with social-media photos showing official team gear and luxury vehicles, and promoted nonexistent investment opportunities. Love allegedly presented Chan as his investment adviser and persuaded victims that they were building wealth and a future together. None of the interviewed victims reported receiving investment returns or repayment of loans. The FBI believes there may be many more victims, while the defendants remain in federal custody in Boise.
