A 56-year-old Florida man, Jeffrey Arthur Moynihan Jr., has been arrested for impersonating billionaire Elon Musk in a scam targeting a 74-year-old woman.
Using a fake Facebook profile, Moynihan convinced the woman to invest $250,000.00, promising her a staggering $55 million return.
The victim, captivated by the allure of Musk’s persona, transferred the money, only to discover she had been deceived.
Upon his arrest, Moynihan claimed the funds were intended for an online girlfriend, raising questions about whether he was also a victim of a separate catfishing scam.
The bizarre twist has left authorities investigating multiple angles of deception.
This case highlights the rising sophistication of online scams and the vulnerability of elderly individuals to financial fraud.
Law enforcement officials are urging the public to remain cautious about unsolicited investment opportunities, especially those tied to high-profile figures.
