A lot of people likely wouldn't mind being golf influencer Paige Spiranac for a day. But it's not always a walk in the park, she seemed to suggest in her latest post — in which she revealed there's an imposter out there. Or something like that.
Marca broke it all down as follows:
"In a recent message on X (formerly Twitter), Spiranac published a photo one of her followers sent her. In the image, you can see the golfer herself holding a sign that says, 'I love you, Baby. Please don't try to hurt me, because I promise I will never hurt you.'
"In her post, Spiranac reported that one of her followers had received said photo on social media and had immediately forwarded it to her. 'This is honestly so scary! They took a screenshot of a video I did a couple years ago holding a head cover and photoshopped a sign in,' the influencer explained.

"She advised her followers not to talk to anyone pretending to be her and reminded them that she does not have accounts on any chat apps. "I will only ever respond from my verified social media accounts and my passes account,"Spiranac emphasized.
"The golfer concluded her message with an emphatic request to her fans, 'Please report and block anyone claiming to be me!'"

Yeah, scary, weird stuff. But there are indeed a lot of creeps out there, and there is indeed a price to be paid for making money off your looks. Fair or not, that's just the way it goes.
No less than Spiranac is discovering that, or likely already has, in the worst kind of way.
Someone sent me this picture that some impersonator sent them. This is honestly so scary! They took a screenshot of a video I did a couple years ago holding a head cover and photoshopped a sign in.
PSA do not talk to anyone claiming to be me! I’m not on any chat apps. I will… pic.twitter.com/NUliWBDxYb
