In today’s world, it’s hard to find someone who hasn’t dreamed of being a social media influencer. The glitz, the glamour, the fame—it all seems so appealing. But with it comes a few unpleasant things too. Impersonators, scammers, and fake accounts. Even someone as established as Charley Hull isn’t immune to this. Recently, she’s had to warn her fans about it. This wasn’t the first time.

In 2023, she shared how random pictures of her were being used on a TikTok account, which she never made. Then, last December, Charley Hull posted a statement asking her fans to be careful. She did not dive deeper into the incident that forced her to share this but just admitted that there are several fake accounts in her name, and they have been asking her fans for money or gift cards, luring them with return gestures of a ‘’meet & greet’’ or a ‘fan club membership.’ Something even Paige Spiranac has talked about extensively in the past.

Hull warned her followers about her only active accounts and wrote, “I will never ask for money or gift cards in exchange for meet & greets or fan club membership. These clubs are fake and run by scammers. My team and I only use my official social media accounts, @charley.hull (Instagram) and @hullcharley (X) at ALL times, there are no exceptions. I am not on TikTok. There are SO many fake accounts out there claiming to be me, if you are contacted by them please report it. Let’s all stick together so we can beat the scammers.”

After almost two months, Charley Hull was once again forced to put up the same warning. This came just a few hours after she finished at T19 in the Founders Cup at Bradenton. On her official Instagram story, Hull wrote, “I DON’T HAVE TELEGRAM, or any other Instagram page, Facebook page or any private chats! So if you think you are talking to me you are NOT! There are so many fake accounts and scammers around please do not be fooled!” Our guess is something might have happened during the event. She was so stern to put up the warning, that she once again reposted the old post too.

Guess what? The list of public entities that have fallen victim to this online impersonation does not stop. Even the Rolex No. 1 Player had to encounter a similar situation. How pathetic is that?

Nelly Korda warns her fans about ‘never asking for money’

Nelly Korda recently opened up to her followers about the alarming increase in impersonators trying to scam her fans. “I will never ask any of my fans for any money,” she said. Korda urged her followers to stay alert, report any suspicious activity, and be cautious when interacting with accounts that aren’t verified.  “I only use my official social media accounts, @anellykorda (Instagram) and @anellykorda (X), at all times. There are no exceptions. I am not on TikTok,” she emphasized.

Other stars like Jin Young Ko have also faced a similar situation. She also issued a cautionary warning to her followers, asking them to follow accounts with blue verification ticks only. Not just the stars, but big brands like Callaway are being impersonated online and offered fake giveaways in exchange for money.

All we can say is, be careful!
