This most likely applies to the older members of this group. Has anyone here ever been "catfished "? Happened to me recently. Hard to imagine but this guy actually thought I was buying his garbage.

Too funny that he thought you believed it! Lol! Good catch my friend! I was swindled one time but it was through a fake company who claimed they could get us into a place for a certain amount of money. Basically their top of the line leads would be ours and we only had to pay for the credit check once cuz they could use the same one for each property we liked. When I realized the list they gave us was Xeroxed off of a penny saver paper I went back to get my money back and the office was cleaned out. It was like they never were there in the first place. Creepy and crazy!

It is funny. I mean when he'd message all these professions of love, you could almost see him typing off a script.

Yes you have to be extremely careful, I recently lost my wife and now my email is stuffed with all sorts of unsavory proposals. I even had one idiot claim my wife had an outstanding bill and he wanted to collect from her estate. Him I gave the telephone number to the local fraud unit.

No. My bullsh*t detector is too finely tuned in to B/S, so alarm bells would be going off all over the place. I'm glad you were not taken in by this idiot. Kudos, my friend.

It's funny. These people equate old, unattached woman as lonely and vulnerable. I am 64 and unattached. That said I am now t at all lonely nor am a vulnerable.

There have been a few attempts over the years, but I've always managed to nip it in the bud before it got started.

Yes them Catfish are everywhere it's sad that you got to do your homework before you do business with anyone. I always catch Catfish in their own act.
