A woman who says she was defrauded by a man posing as a San Francisco 49ers representative told the team she filed a “complaint/concern” in December 2025, eight months before federal authorities arrested the suspect, Daejon Love, on wire‑fraud charges.
According to the woman, the complaint was sent directly to the 49ers organization, alleging that Love had impersonated a team official in order to obtain money from her. No further details of the complaint or the amount involved were disclosed in the source material.
Law enforcement officials later linked Love to an FBI fraud investigation that alleges he used the 49ers’ name to conduct a scheme involving wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. He was arrested and formally charged in August 2026, roughly eight months after the woman’s report.
Wire‑fraud cases involving impersonation of sports teams have been pursued by the FBI in recent years, reflecting a broader effort to curb scams that exploit the brand equity of high‑profile organizations.
The woman’s statement provides a victim perspective in the ongoing case, but the San Francisco 49ers have not issued a public comment beyond acknowledging receipt of the December 2025 complaint.
