A massive fraud scheme in which a man impersonated a professional American football (NFL) star to swindle $1.3 million (approximately 17 billion won) from women is set to be adapted into a Netflix documentary.

The UK's "The Sun" reported on the 16th (Korean time), "Netflix will feature the criminal activities of Dejon Lavray Love, 35, who posed as a fake NFL player and deceived dozens of women, in a new installment of its documentary series 'Untold.'"

Love approached women on dating apps, introducing himself as a wide receiver for the NFL's San Francisco 49ers. He posted videos on a fake Instagram account with approximately 10,000 followers, showing him signing a fake NFL contract or training with a team helmet nearby. He also posed in front of luxury mansions and sports cars, pretending to be a wealthy real estate investor.

The full-scale fraud began in 2022. Once Love developed romantic relationships with the victim women and gained their trust, his accomplice, Taylor Jamie Chan, 18, appeared as a financial advisor to boost credibility. The victims firmly believed they were actually dating Love and helping him grow his assets worth $10 million (approximately 13.3 billion won).

The modus operandi was meticulous. They used fake bank account apps to reassure the victims and encourage investment. They even conducted three-way video calls with Chan present, pressuring the victims to send money or take out loans. If a victim's funds ran dry or they began to suspect fraud, the perpetrators immediately cut off all contact and disappeared.

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has officially confirmed 26 victims. Investigators believe the actual scale of the damage is much larger. Following continued reports from victims, police arrested Love on August 24 in Portland, Oregon, on fraud charges.

Netflix will produce a documentary titled "Untold: Wide Receiver" about this incident. According to entertainment media outlet "The Hollywood Reporter," the work will deeply investigate the inside story of the case based on vivid testimonies from fraud victims. Specific details regarding the director and release schedule have not yet been determined, and it is expected that Love, the perpetrator, will not appear in the documentary.
