The catfisher often has his own tragic story to take advantage of the empathy and compassion of his victim.
Catfish are bottom dwellers. Catfish is also a term for a romantic predator on the internet. This is someone who pretends to be very interested in you for a romantic relationship but in actual fact is only after your money… or worse. Even though these relationship scammers go after both women and men , in this article I will focus on the male catfish/female victim.
They use fake pictures and profiles . The victim may be lonely and insecure with low self-image and feel so flattered that this good-looking person is interested in them. Through cunning manipulation, catfishers flatter them and act infatuated with them, building their self-esteem, making them feel loved, cherished and drawing them into a state of trust. These scammers are very good at what they do. They use all the right language and the victim falls hard for this fake Romeo.
Catfishers like to email and eventually if they talk to you on the phone they have thick accents, claiming that they are from New Zealand, Australia, Bulgaria…living in Canada or the United States. Most people cannot distinguish accents, which also make the catfishers seem exotic. Catfish victims often become destitute, having alienated their friends and family. If you are a family member of someone who has been scammed, please be understanding and forgiving, and please don’t shame them for their loneliness. The scammer identified the weakness in them and played on their desire to be accepted, cherished and unconditionally loved. Counseling for the person who was abused is a good idea, and please take this opportunity to offer them the love they were seeking.
