I think people engage in catfishing because they might not like who they are. So they are afraid to reveal their true selves thinking the other person won’t like them. Some people who do catfishing want money.
Recommendations I have to avoid being scammed are one if you like this person get to talking on the phone with them. Also lookup their names on-line. You can find a lot of information about someone like that. If eventually you want to keep pursing the relationship you can do face to face online chatting. That way you can see the person before you meet.
On social media channels I never give my real name. I don’t have a Facebook account but I do have a Twitter, Youtube and Pinterest. I don’t put any pictures of myself on these sites either.
