Started blocking catfish accounts, then they were suddenly all blocked

I went on yandex reverse image search and started loading pics of women trying to talk to me here.... first one did it when I first joined and hadn't even finished doing my profile yet, asking me how I found this site. Then it was just akwtchy conversations from not outrageously attractive but attractive enough girls just messaging me everyday.

So I started reporting them working my way down from most recent to oldest and blocking them, and suddenly all were blocked. Does this mean they link their accounts and if you block a few they are all blocked?

Why would someone waste their time on doing this? I'm not giving momey out or anything. Chances of someone here being in my city is very low, so I'm not expecting anything other than a couple online friends who I'll never meet. I'm not seeing the point of a non-financial exploitive catfish.

What's it even matter if someone is a catfish or not? Not like we are going to meet too many on here IRL in any case.
@Punches It attracts financial scammers. If I knew it was just a girl with low self esteem with certainty I wouldn't care, and don't bother with the super obvious big titzo girl accounts being very, very blantant.

But some of the people here also get into relationships, and I know people from the internet who have gotten together from a old introvert forum I was a member of years ago.

It also gives me practice with a OSINT skillset of tracking down images. Some of these people get famous influencers as their persona here, but I'm very cautious not to call anyone out unless it's a 100% photo to photo match incase it's a real girl, because I don't want to be a dick to someone accidentally who I don't know (I prefer to to it purposefully, and to someone who deserves it).

If someone made a catfish group where it was clear everyone was engadging in fantasy I wouldn't care beyond twlling people to be cautious with financial information.

When nobody checks on these scammers, it causes real people to be wary of this site. It's why we have such a small user base. You want more real people. Of both sexes. Of varied interests and personalities. Not people just scamming you for money.

@Dignaga It looks like you are fairly new. Try not to take this site serious, no one else really does.
@Punches I don't like scammers. Seen too many people lose what they have to them.

@Dignaga Well I mean people should know by now that the web is full of scammers, specifically the romance type.
@Punches They should. But my primary warning is a financial warning. Too many guys here rush into every scam account and start cheering and applauding and flirting. That's unfortunate, it's like a mouse after cheese in a mouse trap. All I can really say to them is watch your money.

Thaigirl, a scammer account, had over 8000 replies to a single message. 4000+ original posters to that single thread. I'm sure that scammer milked people here for several thousand dollars. You think they stick around and keep posting after that?

One of the scammer accounts I am currently tracking down is using Ava Majury- in real life Ava Majury is a 15 year old girl (in her pics, older now) who charges $1,800 for a private non-pornagraphic video chat. A 18 year old boy felt cheated by this, showed up to her house in Naples, Florida, and tried to kill her with a shotgun. Instead, her father, a ex cop, shot him dead, and had a trial over it.

How do you think someone thinking they were dating Ava, doing a reversed image search, might act after getting scammed out of a bunch of money here? He might try to track the real girl down.


These are the emotions scammers and catfishers play with. It can get very dangerous, very fast. It's best to quash them.

If someone wants to fantasy catfish, use a obvious AI image. Alot of people here use cartoon images, or animal pics. They are not remotely of my concern. Two old dirty men pretending to be teenage girls with spanking fantasies to one another isn't my concern. It's the financial stuff first, then the emotional turmoil of being lied to that I'm worried about. This could be a much larger site if we had more real people.
