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.
