Like, it can’t be a real person, right? Has anyone tried following the links? I’m curious how they’re scamming people. It just seems like anyone getting the same message 5 times won’t fall for being catfished, so I don’t understand what their strategy is.
I’ve received 3 Nicole messages since I’ve been on here, each one with a different photo. It’s weird, really weird. I ran the photos through TinEye and Google Reverse Image Search but I found no exact matches. The photos are blurry somewhat, which implies that they are shots taken from a video, which is a method catfish have used to evade detection. It’s also possible that the original photos have long been deleted (as far as I’m aware, this would contribute to evading detection) and the catfish is using this to their advantage.
Someone looked into one of the Nicole accounts, and on that account there was a photo of something shiny, I believe it was a buttplug, and there was clearly a reflection of an old white man reflecting off the object. Once that was pointed out, they deleted the photo. So whatever the intentions are, I’m sure it’s nothing good.
I’m guessing it’s a pig butchering scam of some kind. The messages advertise other platforms, along with a chatroom that is named “hell”. The aim is to lull a person into a false sense of security via catfishing, pretending to be the their friend or lover, and then pull a scam on them.
I want to know more about this!
