Why COVID Catfishing Is On The Rise
Loneliness
As for those who are falling for the catfishing – because remember they are half the equation, and it takes two people for a catfishing scenario to happen – they are likely extremely lonely. We are all socially isolated, and so we may be more prone to falling for a catfish scam. Remember, people believe what they want to believe, and for some, the loneliness can be so bad that they wouldn’t dare question it if a gorgeous individual wanted a connection online.
