The problem is not just that you got scammed but that you developed feelings and daily habits with someone's personality and life, but associating it the different picture. The "real" guy didn't interact with you that way, you didn't develop this bond and all of those daily things, so your feelings are also based on the interaction you had, not just on his appearance. If you confess your feelings to the other guy, they would be anyway biased by what you had with the fake one and that would be weird.
I think you should tell his friend because it's very irrespectful, who knows what crap he told you about his life, insecurities and embarassing things, but associated with his face improperly.
And if you want to confess your feelings you should say that you were attracted to him initially, then developed feelings on the personality of the fake guy but that you were anyway initially attracted aesthetically to him. All the rest of the feelings don't "belong to him", so you shouldn't make it bigger than some casual initial attraction. In short: don't imply he has the responsibility to reciprocate the feelings you developed on someone else, because it starts already with an expectation and that's off-putting.
Dump the fake guy instead, instantly. You developed feelings on his personality and daily life, true, but the lie he made up is really too big and that shows he would lie over a large amount of other things, if he was capable of this. That is an obvious sign you couldn't build anything with him because he undermines the trust. You can't have a healthy relationship with someone with -this- moral threshold, and he shouldn't be rewarded for that with your presence.
A relationship or friendship is built on trust. He has lied and broken this trust so get rid. Tell his friend what he did.
Girl got catfished; while I could say to just look at who you actually got and see if you like it, I’m not exactly sure moral integrity would be his strong suit…
I guess let the friend know, so he can start having the catfisher knock it off. Maybe try to work on forming a relationship with the guy from the pics instead, but don’t confess your feelings, as by doing so you are simply displacing them onto the idea of them rather than the actual person.
That sounds like an episode of the show "Catfish."
It might be a good idea to notify his friend that he's been using his identity, but don't be too disappointed if the friend has a girlfriend already and has no clue who you are and just seems shocked and angry about the whole situation.
