I was actually catfished on Facebook, with this exact modus operandi. An attractive ‘woman’ wanted to tell me all about cryptocurrency.
I have a live-in girlfriend, so there was no interest on my part, in either the fake chick or the crypto.
I get those same ‘messages’ on ‘X’ all the time.
I just delete and block them..............
Ever wonder who the sociopaths are you see in Netflix documentaries, catfishing people...
Sociopath? Heartless, yes. Don’t know about sociopath.
I knew Israeli Americans who did this in Isreal...called elderly Americans as the prime target.
And it’s done in India, Russia, a lot of Eastern European countries...a LOT of African countries...
It needs to be crushed.
But only by hitting the governments hard will it stop.
Cause almost EVERYONE is in on taking advantage of vulnerable Americans
and it needs to stop
