Who is Daylon Pierce and what is his background?
So this dude will go on dates with women and then scam them out of money. And he scammed like a million dollars from these women on these dates. So the guy's name is Dalen. And Dalen is about 32 when this all starts. And he's living in Arizona. And bro, he's kind of a turd. Like he's been in prison for a long time for past theft and gang activity. But one day in 2013, Dalen finally gets out. He's a free man. However, now he has a problem. He's broke. He needs money. And he's not about to get a job. Ain't nobody got time for that. Instead, he decides to become a con man and scam a bunch of lonely women out of their money. So Dalen gets to work and he goes online and he starts making dating profiles. He's on Match, he's on BB People Meet, he's on Plenty of Fish, he's on Tinder, and he sets up several different profile pages across all these sites.
And he'll use a fake last name so that no one can trace him back to his criminal past. And on his profile, he presents himself as a rich guy, a wealthy stockbroker. But he also makes sure to really stress that he isn't just looking for a one-night smash, that he's really out here trying to find real love. And so pretty quickly, Daylon starts getting a lot of matches and connecting with a bunch of these lonely women. Then he starts investigating them, like checking them out to see if they could have money or good credit, and if they seem gullible, like an easy target. Once he feels like he's found the right victim, he sets up a date with them. And so Dalen, he'll go out on these dates and almost immediately he'll start talking himself up about how he's the successful stockbroker, about how he owns his own investment company and everything.
He'll act like he's always on the phone pretending to talk with investors or clients like when his dates are around. He'll even send them photos of himself on a plane supposedly headed to visit clients or out at dinner with clients. And these poor women, they're impressed and they believe him. And then he'll start asking them about their credit scores and if they can buy a house or a car or if they've got student loans they want to pay off. And I guess bro is just a smooth talker because for whatever reason, none of this sets off alarm bells for these women. And that is when he hits them with the big sell. He tells them that if they just give him a bit of their money, he can then invest it and turn it into a whole lot of money for them.
And then they can use it to pay off all their debts and buy whatever they want. And these women are like, sounds legit. and they start handing over money, like thousands of dollars at a time. One woman, she liquidates her entire 401k, and she invests $92,000 with him, believing that she'll soon start making an income of $15,000 a month, because that's what Daylon promised her. But about two months after she gives him her money, he just straight up ghosts her.
How did Daylon Pierce initiate his online dating scam?
Another woman invests almost half a million dollars. And like immediately, bam, Dalen just takes it all. And of course, Dalen, he's not taking their money and investing it. No, no, he's not a stockbroker. He's not even licensed as a stockbroker. Instead, he's using it to fund his lifestyle. Like he gets a nice house in Phoenix. He buys himself a BMW and a Porsche and a new Jeep. He's also using this money to gamble in casinos and like hang out in nightclubs and strip clubs. He's out here every weekend getting bottle service and acting like some big shot celebrity, tipping huge amounts, getting VIP treatment everywhere he goes. And everyone around him thinks that he's some rich, successful businessman because that's what he leads them to believe.
But it's all funded by these women's life savings. But that's not even all.
Some of these women don't have huge sums of cash just to hand over to him, but they do have good credit. So Dalen will keep dating them, and he'll low-key, like, take out loans in these women's names and then not pay them off.
which later destroys their credit without them knowing. Some of the women eventually even have their stuff repossessed or have to file for bankruptcy.
