Fans of celebrities or sportspersons are easy victims of scammers. They sometimes fail to check the authenticity of the account in their urge to stay connected with their favorite golfers. In some cases, fans were promised to meet their favorites, while in others they were promised to get signed merchandise. In August, Paige Spiranac, the internet sensation, took to Instagram about certain scams that were going on disguised as her profile and shared on her story, warning people to be careful of fake accounts that are asking for money in her name.
Even Charley Hull shared a post recently of scam accounts that are asking for money from her fans in exchange for a meet and greet; dismissing this and telling her fans to be wary about it. The latest to join the list is Lexi Thompson for the second time after the first incident happened at the end of October.
Sharing on her Instagram story, she stated, “Just another reminder here 😂 This is my one AND only social media page.” She has made it clear about her accounts while also exposing the scams that have been going on in her name. Stating further, “There are SO MANY fake pages scamming people for money, gifts, or tricking them to think I’m in a relationship with them. IT ISN’T ME!”
While further sharing, she apologized to the followers for any losses incurred and asked everyone to report any such accounts, as she could not report the scammers alone. At last, she even wished everyone, “Have an amazing holiday season♥️.” However, this isn’t the first time that fans have seen this kind of story and post from her.
