Therefore, from time to time, famous golf names have to keep reminding their fans. Let’s see what Spiranac had to say.

Was Paige Spiranac playing real vs. fake?

Yesterday, the golf beauty Paige Spiranac uploaded a video on Twitter captioned as “No hate towards Applebees though.” In the video, she explained to her fans how to check if it was her or someone using her fake accounts. Sharing an essential piece of advice, she told her fans to believe it’s her only if the message is from a verified account.

If not, it was not the bold and beautiful Spiranac. She asked her fans to block the unverified account and said, “just report and block if it’s not from my verified account.”

Not Just that, she also pointed out tricks to analyze whether it is her or someone trying to be her but someone fake. If the account asks for money, iTunes, or Applebee’s gift cards or relationship, it wasn’t the former LPGA player. The former golfer also talked about her password and badly photoshopped pictures. She said, “it’s not me if they show you a badly photoshopped passport, driver’s license, or an old picture off of my Instagram to prove that it’s me.” 

Also, she told her fans that she would never ask them to talk to them on WhatsApp or Google Hangouts; therefore, that won’t be the golf beauty. “it’s not me. If this person insists on talking to you on WhatsApp or Google Hangouts.” Spiranac said. Right before signing off, the former pro golfer also noted that if the account addresses them as sweet honey, handsome, valued friend, my fan, it was not Spiranac.
