Catfishing LPGA Golfers: A Serious Problem

A disturbing trend involves scammers creating fake profiles of LPGA golfers to con people out of money.

Using sophisticated techniques, including deepfakes, they lure victims into sending large sums of money.

This isn't just about financial loss; victims experience emotional turmoil and even real-life threats.

The international nature of these scams and the limited resources to combat them make this a difficult problem to solve.
