Tim Lincecum impostor who scammed Ravens' Hayden Hurst gets arrested

Tim Lincecum is a man of mystery. The former Giants pitcher is a bit of a recluse, and social media is the last place you'll find him.

If only Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst knew that.

TMZ Sports reported Monday that a man posing to be Lincecum scammed Hurst out of autographed gear. According to TMZ's report, Hurst told Monroe County, Pa. cops in May 2019 that he was contacted by a Twitter account he believed was owned by the former Giants star. Hurst said the account had a blue checkmark, and the fake Lincecum asked for signed memorabilia for a charity donation.
