Elderly Phillies Fan Scammed by Trea Turner Impersonator

A 70-year-old woman with Parkinson's Disease loses $50,000 to a scammer posing as the Phillies shortstop on social media.

The scam began when the victim defended Turner in a Facebook post, leading to a direct message from the impersonator.
Over three weeks, the scammer convinced her to send money for alleged marital and property issues.
Authorities in Pennsylvania are investigating, but the scammer's location remains unknown.
The impersonator used personal details and photos from Turner's public profiles to gain the victim's trust.
Police advise social media users to be wary of requests for money, especially from supposed celebrities.
