Penguins captain Sidney Crosby has become the latest celebrity to fall victim to online impersonation, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
A person used Crosby's likeness in a false effort to raise money for a Minnesota park.
The campaign was launched on MySpace and a message sent on Monday asked for help in raising $3,000 for Phelps Park in Minneapolis.
The message also said that in exchange for a donation, Crosby would send a game-used, autographed stick.
According to a Penguins spokesman, the request is completely bogus and that Crosby does not even have a MySpace page.
MySpace has since taken down the page.

Thanks, this also will get us to use more scrutiny when approached for "causes."
Of course we should be charitable, but we should also be cautious.
Thank you. - 2 years ago

You are most welcome, and yes; this kind of thing is so easy now a days we must always be safe and check the source. The fact that it was in another state would make me leery!
