The Cookout

[Banks]

Have you ever had to deal with those people out there who catfish? Like they will pretend to be someone else, and try to strike up a relationship, and then they will ask you for money because they can't pay their bill or something.

I was on a dating site a few years ago, and saw a profile of a woman I really liked. I sent a message and she responded. We talked for a while and then she started going on how she was broke, and she has to pay her bills. Clearly was looking for me to come in and help haha! What I decided to do from here, was search for her photos on google, and when I did, I found out she wasn't who she said she was. I confronted her and she stopped talking.

Have you ever dealt with someone attempting to catfish you?

Funny you mentioned this, years ago I had someone using my pictures (no lie) as their own to talk with dudes. I don't know who it was or whether or not they were a man or a woman but they were located in the UK. That is all I knew. A friend found their profile and send me a DM over it. Freaked me out at first. Some real weirdos online!

A Black man in my small town was catfished. Folks are still laughing about it until this day.

I have never had to deal with that problem. Hopefully it never happens to me.
