Federal investigators say they have identified about 35 additional potential victims in an alleged fraud scheme involving impersonation tied to the San Francisco 49ers. The FBI says the case now includes 61 potential victims, based on reports connected to the alleged conduct.
The Oregonian quotes Douglas A. Olson, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Portland office, describing the alleged scheme as one that targets women who place trust in the perpetrators and then have money stolen. Yahoo Sports likewise reports the updated victim count, reflecting that investigators continue to expand the list of people who say they were defrauded.
Across the two outlets, the central focus is the FBI’s continued efforts to identify and confirm additional victims, rather than on further details of how the scheme allegedly worked or any specific defendants. The reporting converges on the same update: more individuals are now named as potential victims, bringing the total to 61.
