She explained: “They were visionaries of this currency and made me earn money that I could never withdraw because they told me that taxes had to be paid, which I did.

“I was left with nothing to the point of getting into debt.”

Chloe is now trying to seek justice, with official authorities being of very little help, as she said: “I can’t believe the police can’t do anything.”

As it turns out, Chloe wasn’t the only victim of the Keanu Reeves online romance hoax.

The woman, who had been messaging fake Keanu since 2022, toldCBSon April 23: “He’s always very romantic, flirtatious.

“We had great conversations.”

The woman, who was married with two children at the time, added: “We talked about everything from what we had for breakfast to sex in the shower.”

Despite the numerous indicators that she was communicating with an impostor, the woman was undeterred, tellingCBS: “He also admitted he is Keanu Reeves and now I know that.”

Unfortunately for the victim, the real Keanu Reeves has been in a relationship with artistAlexandra Grantsince at least 2018, and his relationship has seemingly remained solid.

In fact, just last month, the longtime lovebirds made arare public appearance at Giorgio Baldi Italian restaurant in Los Angeles.
