Who are Daejon Love and Taylor Jamie Chan? Duo posed as 49ers player to scam over 26 women for $1.3 million

Daejon Love, 35, and Taylor Jamie Chan, 18, were arrested in Boise, Idaho, on August 24 for allegedly scamming over 26 women for more than $1.3 million, posing as members of the San Francisco 49ers football team. The US Attorney's Office in the District of Oregon announced the charges of wire fraud. Love and Chan began their scheme in February 2022, meeting women through dating apps.

Love posed as Jordan Love, a 49ers player, while Chan acted as his financial advisor. The pair convinced the women of a genuine romantic relationship with Love and presented him as a sophisticated investor. Chan, in reality, managed Love's supposed fortune worth tens of millions of dollars. They led the women to invest in fictitious investment schemes promising high returns.

After the money ran out or the victims realized they were being scammed, Love and Chan ceased contact. The scheme ran for over four years, affecting more than 26 women who were interviewed by the FBI. The agency suspects there are more victims. Love and Chan created fake bank and investment accounts to make the scheme appear legitimate.

They discussed investment opportunities via text messages and sent screenshots to the victims. Some victims even took out loans to contribute to the scheme. FBI agents arrested Love and Chan at the Boise airport on August 17 as Chan was flying from California to meet Love.
