Man Accused of Posing as 49ers Player, Scamming Women Out of $1.3 Million
Authorities say the pair used fake investments and false identities to take about $1.3 million from at least 26 women.
- On August 24, 2026, federal authorities arrested Daejon Labrayae Love, 35, and Taylor Jamie Chan, 18, at Boise Airport and charged both with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud.
- Court documents allege the pair defrauded at least 26 victims across Oregon, Washington, Idaho and California by creating fictitious investment opportunities while Love posed as a wealthy 49ers player and Chan as his financial adviser.
- Financial records show the pair received about $1.3 million from victims using FaceTime calls and fabricated investment accounts to display false gains and persuade targets to send money.
- Both Love and Chan remain in federal custody in Boise, Idaho, and are scheduled to make their first court appearances on Thursday, August 27, 2026.
- Investigators believe there may be many more victims beyond the 26 identified, and the FBI encourages anyone with information on Love or Chan to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
