Caught out by a catfish
Whilst hopeful singles turn to the internet in search of fun and romance, some internet users see online dating sites as opportunities for taking advantage of people. Catfishing is a misleading online behavior in which a person creates a fake profile, either on a dating service or a social media platform, to extort money from, or blackmail a victim. As of early 2022, around one in ten adults in the United States said they had interacted with a catfish online. Moreover, eight percent of U.S. men said they had sent money to a catfish as of January 2022.
