Odell Beckham Jr, the New York Giants first-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, claims that he is the target of a scam by a woman claiming to be his fiancee. The Giants have asked the NFL to investigate the claims on behalf of their new receiver, according to Radar Online, and the family has hired a private investigator to look into the woman's allegation as well.
Odell Beckham claims he’s the target of a sordid scam
The New York Giants rookie receiver says he’s never even met the woman claiming to be his fiancee and accusing him of threesomes with strippers.

Erica Mendez, 21, states she has been dating the former LSU standout wide receiver since 2010. Mendez also says Beckham has treated her to lavish gifts such as a new BMW and flying her out to Paris and London.
The alleged relationship went sour because she claims that Beckham had a threesome with strippers and had a child with another woman. Mendez provided Radar with a series of alleged text messages between her and Beckham.
For his part, Beckham says he has never even met Mendez.
“The entire story is fabricated,” Beckham told Radar. “I have never been engaged. I don’t have any children. And I have never met this person who is making these claims.”
The story only gets weirder. Despite claiming that Beckham cheated on her to conceive a child with another woman, Mendez stuck around and became pregnant with Beckham’s child, only to suffer a miscarriage from stress. According to Mendez, the couple finally split in Aug. 2013 when she walked in on Beckham and strippers.
Then, in a massive twist, Mendez moved past the strippers and got back with Beckham. Their wedding is scheduled for March of 2015, per Mendez.
“We love each other,” she told Radar. “Everybody makes mistakes. He has promised he has changed. I have faith in him.”
A person claiming to be Mendez told the New York Post that she did not speak with Radar or provide them with the text messages posted there. She did maintain that she was engaged to Beckham.
Odell Beckham Sr. denies a claim that the Beckham family has met Mendez.
“It’s a hoax,’’ the dad said . ”[Odell] is actually seeing a young lady who went to Alabama.
“The only child he has is a pit bull named Dre.”
During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon prior to the draft, the host introduced Beckham and told the audience that he was engaged to a model.
Mendez, a Houston native and former Texas Tech student, lists her occupation as a model and entrepreneur. She also does fitness and personal training, according to her website. There’s nothing on there about Beckham, but Mendez Twitter bio includes the line “soon to be Mrs. Beckham.” She deleted her Instagram account earlier this month.
