golfish! 758 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 FYI scammers are catching on to Instagram contests and reaching out to users who signed up for contest with a fake profile. Got contacted this morning that I won a head cover from Swag Golf. When I click the link it takes me to a movie site and they say they are partnering with the film site to get my info lol. The poor grammar gave it away immediately but just letting everyone know to be aware. Report them to Instagram for being spam. Apparently the official Swag Golf Co put a notice up on twitter about it as well. 4 2 Quote Driver : SIM2 Max D 9* Project X HZRDUS RDX Black 70g 6.0 Stiff Woods : GS53 3 Wood 14* Mitsubish Tensei Blue 73g Regular Hybrids: XR Project X Stiff (3&4) Irons : Mavrik True Temper Elevate 95 Stiff Steel (5-PW,AW) Wedges : 52, 56, 60 Putter : Spider Red Bag : Datrek lightweight cart bag Ball : TP5x Rangefinder : TecTecTec DXLS SoCal, USA Right handed HDCP 15.1 Link to post Share on other sites

Whenever I receive a DM, i click on the profile of that Instagram user to make sure it leads me back to the main account of the expected user. 2 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Current tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 12/27/2020 Driver: TSi 2 - Graphite Design AD-XC 6S Hybrids: SIM Max 3H, 4H - Matrix Ozik 85S Irons: ZX5 5 - PW - Nippon Modus 120 S Wedges: CBX 2 54, CBX Full Face 58 - KBS Hi-Rev S Putter: ER2 Link to post Share on other sites
