Part 2, I have been catfished before... here is my story...

So the reason I believe I interacted with this "Katrina" but can't pin a nail in it to who it was... one of the days while still in town she brought up this place called the Otis Grill, she mentioned she was supposed to be going there with some friends and would get a chocolate shake for me jokingly because in our talks she knew how much I loved it there. So I end up receiving a photo of a chocolate shake (without a picture of a person) and knew instantly she was there, so as soon as my brother got home from work we rushed over there probably 30 minutes later than the photo and we go in as casually as we could even with my brother in his scrubs. We sit down and within seconds a blonde girl who works at the Otis Grill in the uniform gets off of her break and there is nothing other than two chocolate shakes in the spot where she was sitting. The only chocolate shakes out of everyone dinning in. (Katrina is Brunette in every photo by the way) The blonde goes to the back and we don't see her again. I wanted so badly to ask this girl if she just had a friend there with her named Katrina. We walk back outside and I immediately attempt a call to Katrina twice, no answer. Get into my brothers car, no answer. I look around in the parking lot for the photos I have seen of her car, not there. I go back to my grandparents house and get a few texts from my cousins asking if I want to hang out now that they found out that I was in town. My brother and I go out with them and somehow it turns into my cousin Kylie wanting me to meet some of her friends, I jump in a car we meet up with about 5-6 girls. This is where it gets [b][i]weird[/i][/b]... A few different cars show up with a few girls and we are sitting in a car in the middle of a 24hour walmart parking lot, it is pretty late and I am bored at this point so spontaneous I decide to go inside of walmart and everyone decides to follow me in. One of the girls in this group is busting up laughing and recording it on her phone. The next thing you know after our walmart adventure we are all inside of a Chevy Tahoe and the girl who recorded the video give me her phone to look at the videos. I am busting up at the first few and then go over to see the next video which ends up being a photo of this girl and two of her friends one of whom I recognize to be I know to be Katrina. I stupidly get way too excited and say hey I know her! and she asks me back with really how do you know "Kelsey!" my heart drops, I am confused as hell and say uhhh, Kelsey? You mean Katrina. She laughs and thinks I am thinking I recognize someone else. This girl then calls "Kelsey" on the phone over speaker phone and invites her out. "Kelsey's" voice is not what I recognize it to be. Kelsey declines, now I am in a horrible mood and ask my cousin to go back to our other cousin Jimmy's house. Somehow everyone in this group decides to come along with us and we end up at the house playing old school games on the nintendo 64, I am still in a confused state of mind. Trying text Katrina without a response and trying to pay attention to clues with other girls and their phones going off. Nothing that I pick up on, I ask questions about Kelsey and how close this group of friends is and they have all been friends for a while, a knock at the door comes and the girl from the Otis Grill shows up. She sees me and acts different than everyone else. Super careful with her questions, etc. everyone else was excitable and asking alot of questions about California, this girl wasn't. I creeped on everyones myspace and they were all connected with Kelsey. My cousin bragged about my twitter account, I didn't even know she knew and said they all followed me. I ended up falling asleep earlier than everyone that night on my cousins floor. I woke up the next morning and texted Katrina letting her know I was back in our hometown and wanted to meet, she didn't reply. I ended up coming back to CA shortly after and still attempted to contact Katrina and never got in reach again. After that my family was trying to cheer me up and made jokes about how she tore my life apart like hurricane Katrina and now they just jokingly cry saying "Katrinaaaaa whyyy!!!". My last tweet was a joke my brother came up with about hurricane katrina and relationships and then I deactivated my account. My conclusion is I met her but I don't know how many of them were in on it.... all I know was at the very least the name wasn't Katrina cause the girl on the phone and apparently in the image her name was Kelsey

Shocking and scary.

@Sydnee For me it was more shocking than scary. I have 6 family members that can attest to my story and meeting Katrina over the phone and even them having her "sister" on the phone introducing. I forwarded the text string to my cousin that knew all of the girls and she never figured it out and kinda moved on with her life shortly after so no one figured it out. By the way forwarding text strings back then was extremely difficult lol at least for me if I recall I actually had a print of my verizon manuscript faxed to me and then I scanned and emailed it along with the photos I had recieved. I don't know if this severed my cousins relationship with the girls but only one out of that group ended up at her wedding a year later. I did one day shortly after my cousins wedding get a text from a number with that area code saying, "it was so great to see you..." but I deleted her number so I didn't know if it was the same number or an accident from someone else or what.
@SW-User What if she is stalking you now? Following your updates through your cousin on FB or Insta as friends of friends ?
