Satou Sabally beckons WNBA fans to report her fake Twitter page: "Have your own life"

Dallas Wings star Satou Sabally asked for help from WNBA fans when she found a fake X (formerly Twitter) account. The account, which copied Sabally's X handle and default picture on social media, poses as the player. The fake page also copied the bio from the Wings star's X account.

The fake account has garnered attention from a few fans online. They have engaged with the poser account, replying to posts and even reposting the content it uploads. There were also a few posts from the original that were copied by the poser account.

Sabally noticed the fake account and called on her fans to report the account.

"Fake pages are so weird like…. Have your own life, own words, own identity. This is my one and only X page. Already reported but pls go ahead and do the same," Sabally posted on X.

The fake account has gradually gained more followers. According to the page, the account was created in May 2023 and has 2.4k followers.

Similar to Satou Sabally, Kevin Durant alerts fans about deceptive fake accounts online

WNBA star Satou Sabally isn't the only basketball player who has raised the attention of fans regarding fake accounts. On Sunday, Oct. 13, Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant raised his concerns. He shared a post on X regarding those who have fallen victim to fake and misleading accounts.

"Sometimes I wake up and look at @TheNBACentel comments just to truly see how many dummies come online thinking that they have high iq. Good morning," Durant posted.

NBA Centel is a parody of the page NBA Central. The latter shares up-to-date news stories and developments around the league.

NBA Centel, on the other hand, posts headlines that often deceive fans. Much like Sabally's poser, the fake NBA-centric page copied the look of the original page.
