It would turn out the dashing 37-year-old's photos had been used online by various scammers looking to woo women in order to take advantage of them.
Revealing that the scheme had been happening to him since 2015, Kagan explained how the scammer's actions had left him feeling 'disgusted' as devastated women from all over the world have reached out to his wife and mother.
"I've had women from all over the planet. All over Europe, Canada, America, Australia, women from everywhere say they've had people try to scam them," he explained.
"I've had women call me out of the blue over the past 10 years that somehow randomly managed to get my phone number because they did a Google reverse image search and found out who I really was.
"There are probably thousands and thousands of fake accounts of me all over the place both on social media and on dating apps. It's pretty insane."
According to the content creator, these scammers use AI technology to mimic his voice to have conversations with these women. He also believes that those in the military are at a particular risk because scammers can use their deployment to spin a sob story to get money from their victims.
"I'm not unique or special in that sense, there's people all over the world that are falling prey to this or being impacted by this." he said. "I can't really express an accurate level of disgust for the damage that these people are doing to people, especially using something as sacred as romance to steal essentially, and con people."
Kagan went on to explain that while the vast majority of the women reaching out were 'non-threatening, non-aggressive' and simply trying to work out what had happened to them, he and his family had experienced several uncomfortable situations.
"Sometimes there's women out there that are extremely aggressive about it and they are so dead set on believing what these impersonation accounts are telling them that they accuse my wife of lying and not telling them the truth," he continued.
"Disgusted is probably a good term for how it makes me feel especially when folks reach out to my family and my wife.
"I have been brutally honest about everything in our relationship together to make sure she understood."
Kagan then went on to share his advice to anyone who believes they may be falling for a love scammer, urging people to vet internet romances with a video call.
"If a person cannot do a video call with you, a live video call with you, and they give you any sort of excuse that they can't do it then that's an automatic red flag," he added.
"There is nowhere on the planet that you can't do a video call. If they're messaging you from somewhere then they can do a video call with you."
