Catfisher Uses Marine’s Pic To Message This Woman, She Teaches Him A Lesson By Sending A Pic Of His Real Life Girlfriend
Redditors can’t believe the twist in this exchange that shows what happens when catfishing goes wrong. The screenshots, posted on r/quityourbullshit, a subreddit for stories about people trying to pass off some BS as true and getting owned, show a guy messaging a random number and trying his luck. When the person on the other end seems to be a woman who’s curious about who he is, he thinks she’s taken the bait and he has the upper hand, but it turns out she has a major reverse card ready for him.
Sit down, because this story has a real twist
Need to read that a couple of times?
So apparently, she recognized the man in the picture all along, but played along to see how far he would go before calling him out… by sending him a picture of that guy’s girlfriend.
One commenter asks what is the point of catfishing, when a real-life meeting would immediately undo all the progress a catfish has made to charm their victim. But catfish don’t necessarily have the expectation that they can get a date or a hookup by posing as someone more desirable than themselves, and they often avoid meeting in person at all, preferring to sit back and congratulate themselves on their manipulation skills from a distance. This guy doesn’t even look like he was playing that much of a long game, but rather waiting for “Rachel” to try to impress him so he could ridicule her.
We’re not sure what kind of power-tripping scumbag someone would have to be to text random numbers looking for interested women just so he could eventually pull out a “gotcha”, but hopefully this has made him think twice. On second thought, it seems like one of the only ways this could happen is if all these people were acquaintances, so we can imagine this loser sweating next time he sees this couple out.
Commenters were impressed by how she played her cards
I just don't get these conversations. When someone I don't know texts me, I tell them wrong number and when they persist I just block that number. Am I the only one?
Same. Someone a few years back got angry bc her mom had the same # before going to prison. I was accused of stealing her number. 1st off, every time you get your phone shut off by the company when you don't pay or you switch your #, the # gets recycled to a new customer. I tried explaining this but they got really angry & wouldn't listen. A lot of cheap pay by minute phone companies don't offer the blocking feature.

Dam, now I want a random number to do this to me just so I can do this back XD
I told this story to my best mate, but he said "who are you??"...
There are 2 things that might happen. 1) That person is trying to ask you out for sex, and try their luck on people who got tricked out and still decided to hook up anyway because they already came out [I have a dumb friend like this]. 2) One of the infamous love package scam in Asia countries. They pretending to be some professionals to chat and flirt like mad, said gonna send you some expensive present that got hold by custom officers and needed you to pay some "fines" to the "custom officers" and voila, money bye bye.
Can someone explain "catfish" for a "not english nor american person" please? Besides the type of fish I mean
Basically it's when someone always on the internet and they use other people pictures and name to start talking to someone pretending to be this person when they're not and they use the victim to get money and other things out of them. Before ghosting them which means they stop communicating with them. There's a show based on this called catfish where the victim calls in to the show and get helped investigating to person to see if they're really them. Sometimes it's all true but they're really nervous and scared to meet up. Other times it's a lie made up for whatever excuses they can give.
