Federal authorities have charged Daejon Love and Taylor Jamie Chan with perpetrating a scheme in which they posed as professional football players for the San Francisco 49ers. The pair allegedly targeted and defrauded more than two dozen women, extracting roughly $1.3 million through their false representations.

Investigators determined that the men exploited victims by assuming the identities of actual 49ers roster members, establishing fraudulent relationships and soliciting money through various pretexts.
