When it comes to being an influencer in the golf world, the first name that comes to mind is Paige Spiranac. With over 3.8 million followers on Instagram, the golf star has a huge fan base on the internet. However, Spiranac is not the only one with tons of fans in the industry anymore. Her newest rival, Haily Ostrom, has proved to be just as influential on the platform. But as per a recent update, the golf celeb faced a major issue similar to Paige Spiranac. In fact, she even shared details about the matter after a fan reported it to her.

Hailey Ostrom falls victim to an internet scam

Ostrom made her way to fame through social media at a pretty young age. The 27-year-old is widely known among golf fans for her incomparable skills and much more. With over 60 thousand subscribers on YouTube, the golf star often shares videos revealing golf tips and tricks for her fans.

Hailey Ostrom is often referred to as Paige Spiranac’s business rival for being in the same industry. However, she is still far off from being anywhere close to the former pro’s success. But despite her lesser fan following compared to Spiranac, she fell victim to a similar scam on the internet as the golf beauty.

In her recent Instagram story, Ostrom shared a screenshot of an email that she supposedly received from a fan. And here’s what it said: “Hailey, I think I just got sc**ed! I sent money to your charity. We have supposedly been chatting and talking about me coming to see you. Was it you? Was it a scam?”. Well, her response in the same story made it clear that it wasn’t her.

“You guys…”, she wrote. “Please don’t fall for these scams. I will NEVER ask you for money. I don’t have a charity. This is my ONLY page.” Surprisingly, Spiranac has also shared several instances where she fell victim to similar scams in the past.

When Paige Spiranac opened up about identity theft

Identity theft is one of the most serious concerns when it comes to being a celebrity with millions of fans. And with everything going digital, it has become even easier for people to pretend to be someone else from behind their computer screens! There was a time when one of Spiranac’s fans shared a screenshot of his hilarious conversation with a fake Instagram user who was pretending to be her. But Spiranac had a pretty serious reaction to it: “Honestly it’s getting so frustrating these keep popping up and very scary for safety reasons,” she wrote. “It’s sad guys actually fall for this,” she added. “And then threaten me because they think I’ve scammed them.”
