Yes, she's a goof. But still, a terribly sad story.-----French woman duped by AI Brad Pitt faces mockery online

AI Brad Pitt dupes French woman out of €830,000 

A French woman who was conned out of €830,000 (£700,000; $850,000) by scammers posing as actor Brad Pitt has faced a huge wave of mockery, leading French broadcaster TF1 to withdraw a programme about her...
Somebody purporting to be Pitt got in touch the next day, which set off alarm bells for Anne. 

• "But as someone who isn't very used to social media, I didn't really know what was happening to me," she said.

At one point, "Brad Pitt" said he tried to send her luxury gifts but that he was unable to pay customs on them as his bank accounts were frozen due to his divorce proceedings with actor Angelina Jolie, prompting Anne to transfer €9000 to the scammers.
"Like a fool, I paid... Every time I doubted him, he managed to dissipate my doubts," she said...

• Meanwhile, Anne and her husband divorced, and she was awarded €775,000 - all of which went to the scammers.

"I told myself I was maybe saving a man's life," Anne said, who is in cancer remission herself.
Anne's daughter, now 22, told TF1 she tried to "get her mother to see reason" for over a year but that her mother was too excited. "It hurt to see how naive she was being," she said...
The TF1 programme said the events left Anne broke, and that she has tried to end her life three times.
"Why was I chosen to be hurt this way?," a tearful Anne said. "These people deserve hell. We need to find those scammers, I beg you - please help me find them."
But in the YouTube interview on Tuesday Anne hit back at TF1, saying it had left out details on her repeated doubts over whether she was talking to the real Brad Pitt, and added that anyone could've fallen for the scam if they were told "words that you never heard from your own husband."
Anne said she was now living with a friend: "My whole life is a small room with some boxes. That's all I have left."..
