Our Reading
The scam arrives with confidence.
Aaden Baldwin, a 15-year-old football player, is already on the radar of top colleges. He received a suspicious phone call from a fake Kenny Dillingham. The scammer claimed to offer him a scholarship, but got cussed out when Baldwin pushed back. The real Kenny Dillingham wouldn’t be calling from an 818 area code, nor would he be calling a rising sophomore. College football recruiting just got a whole lot more complicated.
Recruiting just became a game of “spot the scammer”.
