chosen.content: Catfishers often create elaborate backstories and use false identities in order to seduce their victims. They are adept at gaining people's trust by providing false compliments, overly sympathetic advice, and flattering photos of themselves. They often gain the trust of their victims by suggesting similar interests or shared backgrounds and, in some cases, will even go as far as sending gifts or letters. Once a catfisher has gained the trust of their victim, they will often manipulate them into performing sexual acts or encouraging them to send money. Unfortunately, catfishing often leaves the victims feeling embarrassed, betrayed, and financially drained.

rejected.content: People who catfish others on dating sites often create fake profiles with false information and even false photos. They may also steal photos from other people or photos of a completely fictional person they have created. In some cases, catfishers will create multiple fake accounts in order to build trust from many different victims at once. They might also try to persuade victims to send them money, gifts, or take further action that reveals personal information. Other techniques might include asking for your number and then saying they’ll call but never doing so. Or they may say something to make you feel guilty or flatter yourself and gain your trust. They often employ psychological tactics to manipulate their victims into believing they have found the one, often creating elaborate stories full of lies, deceiving victims until it is often too late. Unfortunately, catfishing can be an easy and damaging tactic that has become too common in today’s world. It can be hurtful and even destructive, creating chaos and drama for its victims. It can also be damaging to online dating in general, which is why it’s important to have extra vigilance when it comes to online romances.
