The man accused of using the San Francisco 49ers brand to swindle money from more than two dozen women also allegedly faked relationships with NFL stars Jordan Love and Tyreek Hill to scam his victims.

A copy of the criminal complaint against Daejon Love, obtained by the California Post on Friday, stated that after posing as a Niners wide receiver, the 35-year-old pretended to be a relative of the Packers quarterback Love in order to get at least one of his victims to send cash his way.

Daejon met the woman through Tinder in March 2025, and after telling her his NFL-themed fibs, the two went on a date, according to the complaint.

Daejon later asked her “about her financial situation and if she was interested in investing,” before he got her to send him $17,200, officials wrote in the document.

“[The woman] did not receive any confirmation of the investments,” the complaint stated. “When [the woman] asked Love about the investments, Love stopped communicating with her.”

Daejon repeated similar tactics with multiple others, and according to the complaint, he used a video where he touted friendships with Hill and former NFL wideouts Antonio Brown and John Brown to gain his victims’ trust.

“Love claims that since he exercised with these players during the offseason,” officials wrote in the court filing, “he received invitations to try out with NFL teams.” He then claimed, “San Francisco was the best team out of all of those teams and they offered me the most money,” the complaint stated.

In total, Daejon — with the help of his accomplice, 18-year-old Taylor Jamie Chan, who allegedly posed as Daejon’s financial advisor — scammed $1.3 million from around 26 women, federal prosecutors said this week.

“Beginning in February 2022, Love and Chan created fictitious investments to defraud numerous women in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California,” the US Attorney’s Office, District of Oregon said in a statement Tuesday. “Love met most of the women on the Internet through dating apps. Chan falsely posed as Love’s financial adviser to further gain their victims’ trust and demonstrate the validity of the investments. 

“Love and Chan solicited money from the women through lies and misrepresentations. The scheme lasted until the day of Love and Chan’s arrests on August 24, 2026.”

Both Daejon and Chan are in federal custody facing charges of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
