MADISON, Wis. (WKBT) — The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) is warning schools and student-athletes about a fake Instagram account that is pretending to be the organization and trying to get personal information and payments.

The fake account, using the name @wiaawisports, has been contacting Wisconsin schools, photographers, and student-athletes while sharing fake livestream and ticket links, according to a Facebook post Tuesday morning.

WIAA officials said the fake account is not connected to the organization and told the public to be careful when dealing with social media accounts that claim to represent the association.

The organization has only four official social media accounts:

Instagram: @wiaawi

X accounts: @wiaawi and @wiaawistate

Facebook: Wisconsin I
