Imposter Scams Women Out of Money

Stephan Pittman (33) is charged with first degree fraud, for impersonating a football star, Vince Young.  He told people that he played for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Pittman is a registered sex offender.

He conned at least one Washington, D.C. woman into giving him$2500 dollars.  He told her the money goes to buying things like hoola hoops and bikes for D.C. kids.  Young's real agent spotted Pittman doing this at charity events and exposed him. 

Vince Young is thrilled about the arrest.  The men are the same height and weight. 

The lesson to be learned might be, even the stars can be victims.

But consumers, especially, need to beware of con artists.  Pittman's neighbors were shocked.  He apparently conned them, too.
