The rate of fake accounts on social media is alerming. All form of yahoo is bad but, it's really low when you still try to scam your country men and women .

Below is my catch with one that didn't realise his location was on and I could since the mileage between us, but, yet she insisted she was in the United States

someone in the US wouldnt answer "USA" to the question "where do you stay at?!"

So girls too do yahoo fraud. I thought it was only guys.

the question is not the problem its the "supposed" answer from someone from the US.... majority of Americans would answer:" i am from Cali/NY/Philly/Miami etc aka their city or even state....but definitely not USA.

Majority of white people that initiate chat in the social media are black scammers.
Once I see their friend request or message I don't receive them because I know it's a waste of time and energy replying them.

Online dating is almost like a box of chocolates ⁠You don't always know what you're going to get. While using dating apps is a wonderful way to get to know new people, you should still use caution when talking to a stranger on an app. Not everyone will have honest intentions, and sometimes, people may not be who they say they are.
Fake profile pictures are just the start, and these stories about being catfished prove that it's important to use your very best judgment.


Read these Three True Life stories from Real people.....

Many years ago I started talking to a guy called Zack. He lived in Pennsylvania. Nice lad. We spoke daily on MSN. We did this for a year or 2. We never bothered going on webcam with each other.

He told me about his family. His mother and sister had left him alone. He had never met his dad though had heard stories of him being a complete d*ck to his mum.

One day he came online and just didn't seem right, I was asking what was up, had something happened at school? with friends? etc. He told me he had to go on webcam. So He did.

So webcam turns on and theres this girl. She looked about 14. He was 16. Anyway. I had been talking to 'her' the whole time. Except i hadnt at the same time. Zack died a few years back. When he died (I have no idea what had happened to him) his little sister took on his personality. She had finally told her mum she has been speaking to me and her mum explained a few things to me. She believed she was zack a lot of the time. Spoke like she was him, told people she was him.

So the whole time i had been talking to a personality of a mentally ill girl. I was shocked and upset. I really enjoyed speaking with Zack, but to think he was never actually alive in the time i was talking to him.

Its a pretty strange one, I still struggle to get my head around it. i just wish I was a little older at the time so i could have understood more what was going on. This was about 10 years ago now so I can only piece together bits of the story.


***************************************


I started chatting with an army guy who was a peace keeper in DRC. We just started chatting casually, I was 21-22 when we started and he said he was 27.

I really don't remember what we spoke about. But I developed a huge crush on him. He said he loved me. I said it back. He said that he'd use his break to fly to see me. He represented himself as a 27 year old single guy. And he came across as having very high morals and being an absolute toughie.

I started to almost worship him and I placed him way above me. I one day told him (and short while before he was supposed to fly to see me) about my drunken 21 year party where I told me 2 best guy friends that I loved them.

He got all quiet and became jealous and something changed after that. We couldn't talk as usual. At this point we had never even spoken to each other. Everything was on chat. One day we were just having a normal conversation and he suddenly threw it in my face that I had gotten drunk... like that was supposed to make me feel bad.

What I didn't like was that he used a thing like that to try and hurt me, like he was waiting for the chance. Anyway, suddenly he was no longer in touch and I was completely devastated. I couldn't reach him. I thought he had told me his real name so I kept looking for his name online and found nothing. I tried over and over again and found nothing. I was broken hearted.

Then I finally had brain wave and googled his id and found that he had lied about his name. He was 40 something. He really was a peace keeper. I also found that he was known to catfish other people, he even created fake dating profiles as a woman. Someone posted a comment on one of his profiles revealing his real name and position. I eventually created a fake Facebook profile and added him as a friend. I found out he is divorced and has a young daughter and his statuses show that he's a total d*uchebag.

He really was a lieutenant colonel though and has been mentioned in a UN web page. I got over it all real fast.

It's a bit embarrassing to admit I was catfished... But I was.

About 10-11 years ago, I started talking to a guy on Myspace. I'm pretty sure he messaged me first, and at first we just talked about tattoos and stuff since I had JUST got an apprenticeship at a shop. The guy said he knew my friend ... Let's call her "Amanda." So I talked to Amanda, and she said she knew the guy and they grew up together and what not. Anyway, guy and I keep talking online and of course I developed feelings. We'd talk on the phone for hours and finally after a few weeks, we agreed to meet up.

This was before the show Catfish... And what do ya know? Guy doesn't show up. He wouldn't answer his phone and I was waiting around like a jack*ss. Hours later, he calls, saying he is sorry. His phone died and he got lost and we'd try again another day. I stupidly ate up the b.s., forgave him, and agreed to meet him another time.

The next time, I brought Amanda and her girlfriend to meet this guy. Even though Amanda vouched for this guy, he didn't show up again. Again, I'm feeling like an idiot and I'm crying, so Amanda and her gf drive me home. Immediately I go online and "break up" with this dude I never met.

We still talked for 6 months after that, with me questioning if he was real... But after that, he was supposedly vacationing around Europe and I wasn't trying to pursue anything anymore. I would still hang out with Amanda, and she would tell me that the guy called her and had some crazy stories about Amsterdam, or Paris or wherever.

Well, about a year ago I got a message on FB from a girl. She asked if I knew _____ (Myspace guy) and if I had ever met him. I told her no, I never met him. She messaged me back that Amanda told her I had met this guy and that she had a brief online relationship with the guy. Then, one night, this girl was staying at Amanda's house when she was sick and I guess her voice was hoarse. She said it sounded exactly like the guy she was talking to online. She confronted Amanda and Amanda came clean.

So, my "friend" of 10+ years catfished me while she had a gf. I always wondered why she was a little clingy for a friend and hated all my boyfriends. Now I know. I haven't confronted her yet, but I also haven't talked to her for a year. I feel like she most likely knows that I know now. It hurts that a good friend did that to me

@op, you too, e be like you like ashawo gan.

See topic wey dey front page


The owner of O.C.E DATA is a crook and a thief..

Two catfish

Low budget

.. nairaland is now for the low. What is this doing on the front page.

A guy is def in the background.

Lots of them have been coming my way recently, and I perceive the scent of a fraud miles away. Some are quick to introduce you to the online business they do. They send you links, open those links and watch your phone hacked...they never pick when you call them out of the blue (they claim being busy with their online clients)...and they only call you when their partner in crime, a lady, is around.

And most of the pictures they use are well filtered. I wonder why able bodied can't channel this same energy into something legal.

One for Instagram use model picture dey chat me, started talking bout bitcoin, will invest bla bla make money.

I just tell say one this model looking lady that looks like all she does his party on her page.
