Spot Catfish Online Dating. It is easy to spot a fake online platform by just checking the kind of images. A catfish is the lowest form of life on a dating site.

As a woman who has gone online to find love a number of times, i’m far too familiar with catfish and their tactics. A catfish may well claim to be a model, be in a job that makes them travel to extravagant locations or work in the music industry. I’ve heard similar stories, we all have, but you never think something like that would actually happen to you.

Fortunately, you can spot a catfish by examining their profile, watching for red flags, and verifying their identity.

People catfish either as a cruel joke, to get revenge on an ex, con others out of money, or for many other reasons. There’s even a tv show about it. Online dating scammers tend to target people who have a large amount of information in their profiles, and the scam is usually based. If you watch some catfish stories, there is a show called catfish that documents several episodes of people who actually fall victim to online catfish.
