The New York Times has recently unveiled a devastating report delineating how a man was swindled by a fraudster impersonating professional WWE wrestler, Alexa Bliss, which resulted in the loss of million and more.
Alfred Mancinelli, the victim of the scam, handed over million in retirement savings as well as his granddaughter’s education fund to a person he believed was ‘Lexi’, his son Chris has disclosed.
As Chris endeavored to safeguard his father’s remaining 0,000 in savings, Alfred initiated a lawsuit against him, succeeding in preventing Chris from accessing his funds.
In no time, the rest of the money was also surrendered to the imposter. Chris expressed his conviction that his father, had he not sadly passed away, would still be transferring funds to the scammer to the present day.
The decoy Bliss purported that she was humiliated by Vince McMahon after rebuffing his overtures and frequently claimed to be seeking treatment for menstrual cramps in a hospital.
Chris discovered his father’s Google account was linked to two electronic devices with Nigerian-based IP addresses, a realization that did nothing to deter Alfred from sending more money.
In 2023, Alfred resorted to acquiring personal loans, using his residence and televisions as collateral, to continue supporting who he thought was the WWE champion.
Chris revealed the challenges faced by his father were well-known within the family, stating:
“The girls all knew that their grandpa was getting scammed so they were already on alert for suspicious activity… It’s really hard for us to accept that there was not some unseen mental decline since the behavior seemed so out of character with the man we knew growing up.”
The actual Alexa Bliss has frequently discussed how innocent victims are being defrauded by individuals who misuse her name and likeness to swindle people.
The genuine Alexa Bliss has been absent from the professional ring since her appearance at the WWE Royal Rumble 2023 event. She celebrated becoming a mother to her daughter, Hendrix, later in that year.
