Serving the scholastic field hockey and lacrosse community since 1998

April 24, 2023 — If it’s too good to be true …

If you ever do a Google search in the news section for “girls lacrosse,” you usually expect to see news articles about the game.

Instead, this spring, I am seeing more and more opportunities for graft and fraud by anonymous hackers spoofing content on YouTube, trying to get you to give up valuable personal information.

The scammers have been posting YouTube links to purported places where girls’ lacrosse games are supposedly broadcast, but you are directed to a link, where you may have to enter personal information or even a “subscription.”

The users all have one thing in common; a name followed by a long dash and five random characters — like “Loretta-—fj7se.”

I ask you, gentle readers, to save yourself time and energy and get a subscription to the NFHS Network instead of falling for these scams.

You’ll be glad you did.
