Adriano’s mum scammed, Flamengo legend vows payback: “Give it back” | OneFootball

Rosilda deposited more than R$ 10,000 into a scammer's account who used Artificial Intelligence

Former player Adriano Imperador, idol of Flamengo, appeared on social media this Monday (26) distressed. This is because Rosilda, the mother of the former Flamengo player, lost about R$ 15,000 to a criminal who used Artificial Intelligence (AI) to deceive her, which outraged her son.

— Hi, everyone. I'm here to warn you about something very serious. My mother just deposited R$ 15,000 and some into an account that was pretending to be me. Don't do this, I haven't changed my number -, stated Imperador in a video posted on Instagram to add:

— To this scoundrel: you'd better return it, man, because I'm coming after you like a madman. Don't mess with mothers, grandmothers, or families. I'm warning you: if you don't return it, you'll see if I won't find out who you are -, emphasized the former athlete, who threatens:

— This is Adriano speaking. Folks, be careful because there are a lot of scoundrels. When you mess with family, it's different, then you'll see the devil come down to Earth. You can return it. I'll give you 24 hours -, warned the 2009 Brazilian champion.

What happened to Imperador's mother?

An offender approached Rosilda via WhatsApp pretending to be Adriano. Thus, the screenshot shows the scammer's text message, who used technology to make a call with the mother of the Flamengo idol.

“What the enemy takes, God returns. Thank God. If you're angry, bite your back,” highlighted the Gávea native in the following story. So far, however, no amount has been reimbursed.

When did Adriano Imperador retire?

With comings and goings in football, Imperador only officially retired in December 2024. On that occasion, the former Flamengo player held a friendly match at Maracanã. Coincidentally, AI was used to recreate the voice of the player's father, who wished the best for his heir.
