  1. When your pleasant little private conversation takes this turn, just block them. You've been #catfished. Don't fall for the #scam.

  2. Almost got #Catfished today.
    Had someone cold-contact me about doing some web-design for them. So far so normal.

    Fairly sensible questions, albeit in slightly broken English. Basic work, but a decent budget as it needed to be done quickly.

    Then, "I'd like to meet face to face to discuss" accompanied a photo of an attractive woman.

    After a bit of reverse image searching, I discovered the photo was of a Korean model.

    *sigh* don't meet up with strangers off that Internet.

  3. My guilty pleasure on Youtube has to be #catfished. It's mind boggling to see people reach out to what I always assumed were bots.
