Feb 11, 2021 5:00 AM With Valentine s Day around the corner, here s a reminder to exercise caution when chatting with someone who may seem too good to be true. One woman truly believed that she was in a relationship with Grenade singer Bruno Mars , after a man pretending to be him contacted her on social media. She was being catfished and, unfortunately, was scammed out of $100,000. ABC affiliate KFSN reports that Chinwendu Azuonwu of Houston, Texas, appeared in court Tuesday night to answer for his crime, taking advantage of a lonely 63-year-old woman. The victim says Azuonwu reached out to her on Instagram and she truly believed she was talking to the 10-time Grammy Award winner.
Houston man Chinwendu Azuonwu has been charged with money laundering in connection with an Instagram romance scam that allegedly involved posing as singer Bruno Mars to take $100,000 from a north Texas woman.
