Talk about a Hollywood horror story gone wrong. On Friday, a woman arrived at Shemar Moore’s Los Angeles-area home around 3:30 p.m. with luggage in tow, prompting cops to be called. But here’s where it gets wild: the woman wasn’t a deranged stalker or obsessed fan—she was a victim of the ultimate catfish scheme.
Jesiree Dizon, Moore’s significant other, opened the door and told the woman to leave. That’s when Jesiree called LAPD, who showed up and questioned the woman. The explanation? The woman said she traveled from outside the state because the faux Shemar Moore told her he would let her live with him. Yeah—some catfish posing as the S.W.A.T. star had convinced this woman to pack her whole life and roll up to his crib ready to move in.
The woman reportedly said she wasn’t there to cause harm and explained she’d been catfished by someone pretending to be Shemar. She got played hard. Our sources say she was “easily duped,” which is a harsh but fair assessment when you’re literally showing up to a stranger’s house with your belongings expecting to move in based on fake social media conversations.
This isn’t the first time Shemar Moore’s identity has become a target for scammers and trolls. The S.W.A.T. star has dealt with an “unhinged” social media follower in a “very scary” incident involving his ex-girlfriend Jesiree Dizon—showing a pattern of obsessed internet randos trying to insert themselves into his life. Moore, 56, is a decorated actor with a Daytime Emmy and eight NAACP Image Awards, so his profile makes him an easy target for clout-chasing scammers and weirdos.
What makes this story wild isn’t just that it happened—it’s that it highlights how real and dangerous catfishing culture has become. Someone out there spent enough time, effort, and deception to convince a woman to uproot her life based on fake Shemar Moore messages. That takes commitment to the scam. The woman was just trying to find love or connection and got played by someone exploiting one of the biggest names in television. Tough look all around.
The good news? Jesiree said she didn’t want the woman arrested, and a trespass report was taken—so at least the real victim here (the woman who got catfished) walked away without legal trouble. She’s the casualty in this whole mess, not the criminal.
The 16BARS take: Shemar Moore didn’t need his Criminal Minds detective skills or his S.W.A.T. team to handle this one—but the internet needs to get serious about catfish accountability, because someone out there is running a whole scam operation using his name and winning.
