Experts believe that people who are looking for love in their life can easily fall for these scams, being desperate and blinded by emotion. While the story Todd fed this woman may sound unbelievable, it’s fairly easy for people to get caught up in catfishing scams. After further research showed that her so-called boyfriend had several aliases, she decided that it was time to just call it quits on the guy. However, she had one last strange encounter where she saw him in a nearby checkout lane at the grocery store. She finally found a real Facebook photo of him, but learned that almost all of the details about him were untrue. After telling her friends some of the more unbelievable parts, they laughed and had trouble believing that she had fallen for it at all.Īfter she confronted her fake boyfriend on the phone, he became extremely defensive and still continued contacting her and trying to set up dates. Still not entirely sure if she was being had, she continued attempting to meet with him, and investigated him further. As these stories often go, the physical dates kept being cancelled and, after investigating her new online “boyfriend,” she started to become suspicious. He claimed to have played soccer in Europe, was a successful entrepreneur, and had pitched a reality show called “Topless Chef” that was already in the planning stages. One Salon writer had her own catfish story, featuring a guy named Todd who seemed too good to be true from the start.
The story ultimately has a goofy ending, as Maxim wanted to remind everyone just how ridiculous they are, so they put Manti Te’o’s “girlfriend” on their Hot 100 list. When the hoaxer was asked about his sexuality he confessed that he wasn’t sure if he was gay or not.
He also made clear that he didn’t want to hurt anyone, and never tried to get money out of the deal. The man behind the hoax claimed his reason for the deception stemmed from child sexual abuse. We put she in quotes because it turns out that Te’o’s girlfriend was actually a guy. Te’o had been “catfished,” and believed fully that the girlfriend he had been talking to was exactly who “she” claimed to be. Everyone jumped to the conclusion that Te’o had scammed everyone, but the truth was much stranger. His girlfriend died, and then it turned out that she wasn’t real.
