Catfishing
Catfishing has become such a major scam that an entire business has cropped up around fighting the scam. Sites like SocialCatFish.com help you verify the identity of strangers you meet online. The FBI has reported an increase in catfishing schemes during the pandemic. It has been a historical event that has made the lonely even lonelier, and when we don’t interact with many humans in real life, it can become easy to lose grip on reality. Suddenly, a dreamy message from a stranger can seem viable. But remember that anyone can steal someone else’s images and pretend they are their own, while simultaneously tracking your life on your social media profile to learn just what to say to make you “fall in love,” and then send money.
