    Thankyou Manti Teo. You brought catfishing to light and I believe you saved many. Because until we heard your story we didn't know what catfishing was

    It is better to be alone than in bad company! As soon as they ask for money, run! Also, please know that a man could be dismembered and if he really loved a woman, he would STILL do his best to show up for the woman he supposedly "loved." My response to one who would have the nerve to ask for money: "Oh, I am so floored. I have none to give you. In fact, I was just about to ask you the same thing...." (of course, I would not be serious, but this would help weed out the trash).

    I have cat-fished some ppl and have been cat-fished online, and I can honestly say that just hearing what these ppl went through breaks my heart. I was an idiot, young and insecure, looking back at it I feel soo ashamed of myself I own up to myself, I wish I could find those ppl and tell how sorry I am, both men and women.

      Otto Conde Exactly. Such a thing can scar you for life.
      I dealt with a catfish back in January. When I tried to do video chats with her, the constant “broken phone” Excuse came up non stop, and then the dumb vagina started asking me for money in a sneaky way, like “can you please help me get a new phone?”
      Instead, I show her options of what other phone she can get. I didn’t even think to give her money. That was until March, she got all mad at me because I failed to give her an allowance, and I was like “Excuse me, but I’m not financially responsible for you. You broke your phone? Well that’s just too bad. You should have been more careful.”
      As soon as that was said, I unfriended her, only moments after that, she blocked me, and THAT was when I knew that was it.
      I even tried warning other people about her, but no one took it seriously like I did.

    To some people, men and women, the idea of going out to meet someone in real time is so terrifying that they can never bring themselves to do it. Not all of these people are homely or fat, some are quite good looking, they are just super shy. I know one guy who never asked a girl for a date in his life, but he is married now to a very good looking girl due to a meeting online; she is also shy. They talked daily and eventually met. Meeting someone online is an easy way out for some people.

  • @LadyL31786

    Well, there's nothing done here that would get the law involved, however, if the schemers asks the person for money, then the law would get involved. These schemers who play with people's emotions are very sick, and should be locked up in my opinion.

    • @MajorLinkGaming
      @MajorLinkGaming 6 років тому

      LadyL31786 Amen to that. I had a catfish back in January, who was very sneaky with me in an attempt to chew on my wallet. She asked me if I can help her get a new phone, which I did. BUT all I did was show her options on what kind of phone she can get.
      Unfortunately, not even that was good enough. In March, she snapped and said I wasn’t good enough for her because I couldn’t give her money, and I’m like “Well that’s what you get for spitting the broken phone Excuse at me over and over again.”

I have no worry asking about her whereabouts, all i have to do is login into a portal which is linked to her phone remotely. I can comfortably read her text messages, credit score, call logs and Facebook, whatsapp messages including her deleted files & messages in real time access. It was no doubt exactly worth it and having to know she was unaware about what we did was the best part. I'm secured while i get real proofs of her secret acts from her phone without touching it..

The info he gave me was 100% correct. Unfortunately, as I found out by other people, not me, he was, and likely still is into cyber sex. So sad, he was such a nice guy I thought.

    That is both weird and disgusting that someone would do this and go through such lengths. Nuts!
    I guess it’s weird to me, too, as I see people doing things nowadays that I simply don’t have the inclination, nor the time to perpetrate. And, it can be so difficult to make a loving, human connection, why waste your own and other people’s time like this?
    I sure hope that a guy I recently met online doesn’t think that I catfished him. We texted and spoke on the phone a little bit but, we ultimately decided that we live too far apart to form a viable relationship. But, other than that I was genuinely interested in him and I hope and it “seemed” to me that he was genuinely interested in me, as well.
    Either way, I wish him the very best in a safe search out there. Though he’ll never know, 💋 to him.

And by the way, not all the Tuiasosopo are alike. I met the hoaxes is one of those family they think WE ARE THE ONE, so they push that, they never think they are wrong even though they are the HOAXES.

    Never give your personal data out and Never meet a person in a private location. If you want to meet someone please meet them at a very public place like a juice bar or cafe and then talk a lot there for many days before going home with that person. Still never give them your personal data. Never give your bank information out! Never give your passport or driver's license information or Social Security number. I have been frauded by ex boyfriend he stole money from my bank account.
