I agree I don't like people who fake their info online to get people to talk to them. It's pretty low.

Skylancer wrote There was a Youtuber that used to expose them. His name was AnxietyWar. You can still find him around and he still makes videos. He's stopped catching predators and people who try to catfish because despite meeting up in person with them and talking about how they're doing bad to the world, it just gave them a chance to escape the feds.

The way he worked was he would pretend that he was a girl, in order to talk with the predator/catfish and gain as much information as possible so it can then be handed to feds. He meets up with them and questions them. He leaves telling them that they're being reported to authorities.

But yeah it's pretty sick, you just gotta be careful, always ask for proof of things make them show their face with your name or something to prove they're genuine people.

The video below is actually a different method, in this video he made his actual appearance look 13 years old lol.

I'm gonna need you to take a seat

Idc if a person catfishes me I'm just so lonely these days. Any communication is good enough for me.

I clicked this thinking of seeing actual catfishes as in the animals lol.

In all seriousness I hate this to, though I never knew there was a word for this I always just called it pretenders

People who cat fish are really pathetic. They use someone who is more attractive to get more noticed or to get some... just sad in my opinion

That's why it's hard to trust people on the internet man, what I hate the most is those bitter FB accounts that add you. A lot of the time it's a picture of a hot chick who just so happened to create "her" account, and you guys have zero mutual friends. It gets extremely annoying when I get three FRs every week.

I usually think people who act like that are trolls

SRT-8 wrote Just Catfishing itself is completely wrong and weird

Agreed.
