How to understand that you are being taken the bait by a date-swindler

People, even the smartest ones, may be tricked as the rest by some catfish that’s is plotting a mission against you in order to make you pay attention on him (her). Catfish is a person who will try to win your sympathy whatever it takes. Special reporter Kurt Knutsson that is known as Kurn the CyberGuy, tells us about the possible ways of identifying a catfish being on the dating websites. 

If you find yourself matching at least two of the scenarios below, it means it’s very possible that you are being caught by a swindler.

1. Inaccurate Date Information
Look at the physical description – this is one of the most important things to do first: someone who is 6-feet height can’t weight 90 lbs. But, maybe… Anyway, look for any strange profile data that doesn’t suit profile photo.

Advice: Ask those, who you suspect of being a fake, to take a photo of them holding a piece of paper signed by them with their actual name. It would prove that the person on the profile photo is actually the person you are talking to online You also may ask them to have an online skype conversation. Very most of the tablets, laptops and smartphones today are made with built-in camera so it would be easy. Someone claiming shyness or refusing to use a camera by a reason of “can’t find it” or something else, very probably is a catfish.

2. Check profile photo
Photos that look like professional ones are a strange thing unless you are talking with a professional photographer. Use google to check up on some photos and identify whether they have been already spotted somewhere else, on some forums, sites or somewhere else. Photo with a watermark or some other thing like ones from modeling websites, is obviously a fake.

3. Carry out an examination into a photo!

«This is another stage, next level, “ Knutsson says. Take a strict look at the photo, examine all the details – wedding Look for detail in photos — wedding bands, place itself, activities, season, the way people on the photo are dressed. If you are told by a person that a photo is from Christmas party, who is dressed in shorts and baseball cap is obviously a swindler, trying to win you whole.
