LPGA star Charley Hull said scammers are claiming to be her and they are contacting her fans.

Taking to her Instagram, the 28-year-old English golfer warned fans of fake social media pages requesting money on her behalf and explained that she felt the need to address it after an incident at an event recently.

“I mentioned this a few weeks ago but after an incident at a tournament recently, I feel the need to speak out again. I will never ask for money or gift cards in exchange for meet and greets or fan club membership,” Hull wrote on Wednesday. “These clubs are fake and run by scammers. My team and I only use my official social media accounts, @charley.hull (Instagram) @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 them please please report. Let’s stick together so we can beat the scammers.”

Hull, who is one of the most celebrated female golfers in the UK, currently has 703,000 followers on Instagram, and more than 91,000 followers on X.
