Catfish hunting.

Catfish hunting.
When you see somebody here and you’re pretty sure they’re not real? One of the easiest things to do is go do a reverse image search on that picture. Most often it turns out someone has just nipped something from a website or a porn site and put it up there. I wonder what these people are doing? I just showed someone here, where their pictures came from. Instantly blocked. I wish we could do more about these catfish, they just waste everybody’s time. And are in some cases quite cruel

I don't really see why people are bothered by the catfish, they are usually pretty obvious and unless you use this site to actually hook up with people in real life I don't see how you'd be affected by them.

@AntisocialTroll Sadly there are cases which I’ve heard about right here where people have been tricked into sending money, gift cards, even racy pictures without ever having met the scammer in person. Most wouldn’t fall for it but unfortunately there are still those who do.

@OlderSometimesWiser There have been times I'm aware of where this has happened but it's all been a long term user who most people on here think is legit rather than one of those that pop up and are obvious.

The one I'm aware of has been doing this since EP and even when they've been outed on here most of their friends continue to believe in them!

They aren't dumb enough to use pictures that are findable through reverse picture search which helps but you will never be able to stop the truly determined from conning others.
