Golf influencer and former professional player Paige Spiranac has once again taken to social media to combat a recurring issue: impersonators targeting her massive online following. With over 4 million Instagram followers and more than 1 million on X, Spiranac’s prominence as one of golf’s most recognizable figures has made her a magnet for fraudulent accounts. On October 7, 2025, she posted a stern warning on X: “I DON’T HAVE A TELEGRAM! Please stop talking to people on there claiming to be me, a family member, or someone from my team. Thank you!” The post, viewed over 46,000 times, underscores the ongoing battle she faces in protecting her fans from scams.
This isn’t the first time Spiranac has had to address the issue. The 32-year-old, who transitioned from professional golf to a thriving career as a model and influencer, has repeatedly called out fake accounts mimicking her identity. In July 2025, she shared a screenshot on X of two imposter accounts engaging in a bizarre exchange, humorously noting, “Fake me responding to another fake me lol. I feel like they could make a Black Mirror episode about impersonating accounts because it’s out of control.” A similar incident in 2023 saw two fake profiles sparring, with one commenting, “Thank you very much,” and the other retorting, “Hey, who do you think you are?” These surreal exchanges highlight the chaotic nature of the digital space, where imposters proliferate.
Spiranac, known for her candid reflections on her “love-hate relationship” with golf, has been proactive in guiding fans to her verified platforms. She emphasized that she only engages directly with followers through her official Instagram, X, and Passes accounts. “Hi, just a friendly reminder I don’t have a Telegram or anything like that,” she reiterated in a recent post, urging fans to steer clear of unverified profiles to avoid “unsafe situations” created by doppelgangers.
The issue reflects a broader challenge for high-profile figures in the digital age, where fake accounts can deceive fans and exploit their trust. Spiranac’s warnings serve as a reminder to her audience—many of whom admire her for both her golf expertise and charismatic online presence—to remain vigilant. As she continues to build her brand, which includes partnerships and content creation, her focus remains on fostering authentic connections while combating the persistent threat of impersonation. Fans are advised to stick to her verified channels to ensure they’re engaging with the real Paige Spiranac.
