What are the signs that someone is a catfisher here?

[Anonymous]

I know this maybe an age old question that keeps getting repeated but answers in the old questions need to be updated.

What are usually the signs that a poster here is a catfish?

I also saw somewhere that "How Do I Look?" has a lot of them. How do you exactly spot one?

[Lesbologist]

Look at my profile picture... if you can't figure out that's not me...

Do I need to say more. This isn't Tinder, so why does it even matter? You actually looking for dick off of this site like it's some sort of dating site?

I'm just not sure why you're concerned about it... I mean seriously, most of these so called "Pink Accounts" are actually fat dudes with little dicks... that should just be common knowledge.

[Asker]

No, I'm not looking for dick. I just saw a post where a someone suspected a poster as being a catfish. The poster's post wasn't even dating-related so it was kind of a head-scratcher to me why that someone had to suspect. In a way, we on the same side.

[Lesbologist]

Was this post one of those made by a pink account that was obviously made by a dude? They love to ask really sexual questions and it's just one of those things we all guess but can't prove.

[Asker]

There are a lot of those, yeah. It's hard for me to tell what's made by a dude. I don't know what counts as sexual questions

[Lesbologist]

I'll put it like this... Real women are not asking for dick pictures from me... Trans women are. Real women want a face picture. That's how I tell the difference.

It takes a little bit of life experience but there is a clear difference between the males and females once you learn it. There is just a slight difference in behavior that doesn't change just because they have a pink account or put on a dress and says they're a woman. I think it's the use of deception that probably pisses us both off about this topic. Like WTF, why? Am I rite or am I rite...

Likely, there is no way. Less than half of the profiles have a photo showing the face of a real person. Even if the profile includes a face, if it is a cropped photo showing only the face, in most cases, a reverse image search will give a negative result unless it is the face of a movie star or some other well-known person.

If they have multiple profiles with the same IP address, the site's AI may detect and remove them.

If there is no photo and the only information is screen name, sex, and age, does it matter? To me, the most important thing is the question. If the questions and replies become annoying, which rarely happens, I can block

Usually, it's pretty obvious. Their photos are often low-quality, oddly cropped, mirrored or heavily filtered. Sometimes they just look a bit off. And with AI generated photos, I find it fairly easy to tell most of the time.

[tiredpanda]

There's always reverse image search if you're not sure

Level one rookies that have to talk to you just when they signed up and they’re real sweet and they want to talk to you in private message then five minutes after chatting with you they say they don’t really have time to be on this site. They’re not here very much and they want to take you right to telegram then that’s when they pull the scam on you.

[Kelly6]

@Iron_Man This sounds most accurate

[Iron_Man]

@Kelly6 thank you Kelly. I appreciate it.

First they write really nice things so you think they like you. Then in a day or two they ask you to leave GaG and don't want to message with you here but move to Telegram or Whatsapp or another website.

THIS IS FOR A FINANCIAL SCAM. ROMANCE SCAMMERS HAVE A DIFFERENT APPROACH BUT STILL WANT YOU MONEY.

Word gets around from member to member warning each other of who's trying to get them to invest in Bitcoin and binance and digital currency. They are very enthusiastic about wanting to teach you about it and they rig your money to a financial company that is just months old. Once you send your money and it doubles, they get you to invest more money but when you go to withdraw your money the account says it's frozen and they take all of your money and you never see it again. And yes, there is an account of a young woman on here doing it with a lot of men!!

She reels them in by writing such nice sweet things all the time. But her questions, opinions and replies are all written by AI or Chat GTP.
All of the people say followers are guys and guys are following her!
Some of us watch out for each other on here and warn each other about it.
This is for financial scams.

And they aren't young in their 20's either. And they do put a picture on their profile page sometimes and they are very good looking. But they aren't doing that anymore because we can do reverse image searching and find out who the real person is in the picture they stole from other innocent people on websites.

I could go on and on but I'm tried of thinking about them.

3 of them sent me DM'S here and the first time it happened I had never heard about Romance Scammers! Now I know almost everything about them!!

[7Phoenix7]

Well definitely when you can search their photo up and it’s a random google photo of a model or porn star..

[Nikki1989]

You can reverse image search their photo, but that doesn't always mean much. Most people have photos online somewhere.

[DryGermanGuy]

Stolen pictures showing some attractive person from Instagram or wherever.

[Asker]

Are they always attractive?

[DryGermanGuy]

That's at the core of catfishing someone. Now, if it were about scamming people...

[lilBigPotato]

Posts read like porn fantasies and the profile photo matches it.

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

They're usually 25-29 years of age and typically post anonymously

[slatyb]

They have a boat with a trawling motor.

[rapfan107]

If they ask for money
