SCAMMERS have tried to cash in on Andy Murray’s retirement — by hawking the star as a £220,000 after-dinner speaker.
Bogus ads offering up the newly-retired tennis legend, 37, as a “noteworthy and impactful” orator have appeared on two websites. Fraudsters claiming to belong to three US-based firms also claim the Scot will “inspire” audiences with his life story.
And potential bookers are told the two-time Wimbledon champ will speak at virtual events for £150,000.
After being alerted by The Scottish Sun, Sir Andy’s team took action to have the ads removed.
A source said: “The adverts look very real and I wouldn’t be surprised if people looking to book Andy made contact with them.
“Hopefully, no one had paid any money to them thinking they were dealing with his representatives.”
Sir Andy’s final match was at summer’s Paris Olympics.
The dad of four said later: “Since I’ve stopped, I feel really free. I can dedicate time to my children and golf or go to the gym on my own terms.”
Since hanging up his racquet Murray has turned his sporting prowess to GOLF.
