Paige Spiranac has always been a strong advocate for herself, whether it’s standing up against fake social media accounts or calling out misogynistic comments. And that’s one of the many reasons why fans love her. She isn’t afraid of speaking her mind. Time and again, in a world full of deepfakes and online scams, Spiranac has always gone that extra mile to warn and educate her fans about scammers.

Take last year’s July incident, for instance. Things started to get so complex that the 31-year-old had to warn her followers about scammers reaching out to her fans while pretending to be her. She claimed the incident was “scary.” But unfortunately, it looks like her followers are falling into the scam trap yet again. The reason?

On January 18 the OG golf girl posted about her exclusive content passes on X when a fan chimed in and said, “Hi Darling! Reply with this lead on our chat to confirm it’s really you, please.” And guess what? The person this fan was chatting with wasn’t the real Paige Spiranac. This was confirmed when the golf influencer quickly responded to the comment declaring, “I only chat directly on my passes account or my verified social media accounts.” She emphasized, “Nowhere else.” To this, her fan replied, “Really? I asked Paige for photo holding 2025 note and I got it.” 

Disturbingly, this incident took place just hours after Paige Spiranac shared her thoughts about the horrifying stalker experience Hailey Ostrom had. On 17th January, Ostrom shared how someone was reported looking for her at one of the golf courses she plays and claimed that she had asked him to get in touch. Initially, she thought he might just be an overly enthusiastic fan and didn’t think much of it. But the very next day, that man showed up at her house! Describing the encounter as “very scary,” she admitted it was unlike anything she had faced before.

Time and again, Spiranac has informed her fans that she only has one verified Passes account. “Is it true that you are part of the money scam in your name?” asked a follower once, to which she replied, “I only have my verified accounts and my Passes account. Anyone claiming to be me or claiming to be an associate of mine is fake.”

There was an instance when her persona was being used wrongly. Someone took a screenshot from one of Paige Spiranac’s older videos and edited out the head cover that she was holding to a sign that said, “I love you, baby. please don’t try to hurt me! Because I will never hurt you.” 

Sadly, the social media golf queen is not the only one. The online platforms now seem to have another division full of scammers, and it isn’t just Spiranac who has been targeted by these fraudsters. We have seen top golfers like Lexi Thompson and Charley Hull share similar experiences, and the problem seems to be ever-growing.

Fraudsters are targeting LPGA pro fans continuously

The 2X LPGA winner, Hull even took to her Instagram to inform her followers about the fake accounts being created in her name. She said she does not own any social media account on TikTok. She continued to express that if anyone is following a TikTok account in her name, it’s fake. She closed her message with a crucial message: “And please report.”

Shockingly, Lexi Thompson too was seen joining the list when she warned her Instagram followers through a story that said, “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!” And that’s not all! 29-year-old Jin Young Ko has encountered scammers in her career.

It is concerning how many more golfers, influencers, and fans will have to face the same and for how long. What do you think these networking grants immediately do? Let us know below!
