A Cautionary Tale: Has anyone ever catfished you on GaG, too? (Page 2)

Question

Question title: A Cautionary Tale: Have you also been catfished by anyone on GaG?

When my closest friend on this site and I started talking she told me a strange story about her and her son. It made me a little uncomfortable but I brushed it off because I liked her and she assured me professionals were involved. 

A little over a week ago someone came to me and told me they were told a similar story. I still felt oddly loyal to my friend and said I hadn't heard of it. However, what I heard disgusted me, and I told my "Best GaG friend" not to talk me anymore (a few days later she deactivated) but I was kind of consumed by the fact that I was duped by someone I really cared for. 

So I decided to do some digging and I found out that she/he/whoever has been doing this for years on GaG and other sites. Creating weird stories about incest. 

I found videos and pictures under the same usernames... some of them were from the role of the son or brother... other times it was the sister or mother. Though her YouTube is completely private now, someone on another site shared a private link to a video and it has FORTY THOUSAND views (I noticed before hand that it was odd that she had 850 subscribers but NO videos). The video is very similar to one she sent me only it is a sister/brother secretly recorded vid and her's was a son/mother "secret" recording. I could fill ten questions with all the shit I found on this person. 

I feel a lot of things about this: Shocked, embarrassed, grossed out, and kind of scared that he/she will return. 

So this is both a warning and a question. For those of us who really are being genuine: PLEASE be careful on the internet. If something sounds like bullshit it is probably bullshit. To those who aren't: Anyone who knows how to google can find you out if they try hard enough. 

Has anyone else been catfished on here?

Commie, you are a fucking LEGEND. This was just so perfect. I never suspected sanplanet to be a catfish. Amazing detective skills. Seriously, this should be a movie or something

I'm in shock? Was it really SandPlanet? What? ! She was... so... what? ! I think I'm dreaming. I thought she was the realest person I knew on here, haha.

First - thanks for revealing this

When I first joined this site Agent_Mouse added me as a friend and I remember him telling me about how his sister kicked him in his privates and the pain was unbearable. He even linked the YouTube page but the characters in play were Black. So I guess all of that was fake?

Well, seems I am not the only one that has endured all of her/his tales and stories. Very very sad that there are people out there that are sick and weird enough to do this kind of stuff. I think he/she has made many of us feel taken advantage of and a little violated. I hope this person sees that they can't always get away with what they do and there is always someone smarter than them. Good job @CommieDearest for exposing the truth to all of us!!!

Before I strt, congrats on your awesome detective skills girl!!
I think maybe I have been catfished by this user? Is this similar to what you guys were told because she inboxed me randomly a few weeks ago with a similar story. But it didn't get to the extent of videos or anything as crazy as your investigation. If this is similar, maybe this is another of her/his gag profiles maybe... www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1104108-need-some-advice-from-other-girls-please

YO, that's fucking creepy as SHIT. I never talked to her via PM, but based off her answers I thought she was cool as hell. SIKE. Trust no one.

ironeddie · Answer

I didn't ever look into it, because, well I couldn't be bothered. But every time I read a comment from "SandPlanet" I thought it sounded a lot like something SaVes would have written. I figured SaVes returned with a different nickname.
I also thought SaVes and "bubbiexo" were a lot alike too. Not to mention being besties and leaving within a day of each other.

musicbrain5 · Answer

Hey, me too... I was told pretty much the exact same story, or at least another equally fucked up version of it. Sighhhhhhh.

kangy · Answer

So far I only got lied upon by someone with regards to her age. but i believe there are many whom I interacted with here are catfished.
that's why I created a topic recently about online vs real life friends. both are different to me.
I have reservations towards online friends

Still it's shocking to know that sandplanet catfish. She seem so real. . omg scary

VulcanHades · Answer

I haven't officially been catfished yet. But there's a couple of girls who I find really suspicious right now lol. Some of them are clearly bots but some might be trolls pretending to be good looking girls. It's kind of obvious when they keep sending you PMs for no apparent reason. Or when the PM seem copy/pasted and non-personal at all.

DontDropIt · Answer

OMFG!!! SHE TOLD ME THE SAME SHIT! Fucking weird! WOW!

centigrade · Answer

Omg that was/is one sick POS (now named an it as she's not even worthy being referred to as human). I actually sent it a message a while back just to chat and thank God it said I was boring lol. Hopefully none of the other people I talked to was this dumbass sick beotch, but sources lead me to believe so :( I'm sorry to you, and to everyone who it hurt and manipulated.

Hans222 · Answer

I'm always very vigilant. My main strategy to check if people are honest is: show interest in what your "friend" is doing in life but ask questions that are not easy to answer with "political" or "escaping" answers.
When talking about a subject, keep asking things. They can't reinvent the world. If they're lying they'll soon fail to tell the right story.
And if the escaping answers start coming, time for extreme vigilance. Games are being played...
I also don't just "open up" to people, it takes time and even after opening up it's just about communicating and he or she will not get useful confidential info from me. Won't ask for it either.

CasaNorba · Answer

i think i have in the past, but i dont remembered their S/Ns.

but damn this is some freaky shit!

i actually locked horns with that person you are referring to a couple of times in the past. so i guess it wasn't just a coincidence that i had to block those S/Ns in my past history on this site.

though i didn't lock horns with him/her on the last screename he/she used, i did but feel like blocking this individual once again for some reason. but now that i look back i think it was God (The Universe) that made me block him/her. but anyways if he/she comes back you best believe that i will block him/her again a nd million more times if i have to. i just hope i can tell who he/she is once more if he she does decide to return

Wow I can't believe this. People who have enough time on their hands to screw around with others online and put on a completely fake pretense seriously need to get their lives in check.

I've had a few amateur trolls message me but I always immediately delete their messages because it's obviously bull crap.

I'm a reserved person both online and in real life, so any catfish would get super bored with me. I'm not going to share stuff like my phone number or other personal information, heck, even my name, with any online person. Anybody who isn't okay with that can go kick rocks. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. (✌ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

MrOracle · Answer

It's been tried a couple of times, but I can usually see right through that stuff - people are bad liars most of the time. A couple of times I wasn't sure, so I played along a little bit to see, and they were almost all fake.

You definitely have to be careful and not take too much at face value until someone has established themselves.

DreamHope · Answer

Wow. I've seen SandPlanet around a lot but never had any desire to talk to her because her posts always seemed a little off...
