Need help catching a catfisher

[blue cat]

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. Can someone direct me to a place that I can upload a photo that a friend showed me of her girlfriend from Italy. It looks like a model. I think my friend is being catfished.

6. Yes

But my friend doesn't believe it yet. I found the same model pictures but the person that is texting my friend said that she had professional photos done. It's all I could do. Thanks. Someone is pretending to be a gay woman in her 20's interested in my 50 yo + friend.

7. Also

The person has a reason for everything, like not being able to do face time because she is involved with another woman already and is afraid of being caught. My friend is naive and has been in a relationship for 23 years but she is having an online relationship with someone she met on a site for lesbians.

8. Have there been any requests for money?

And, do you know the site in question? Get a throwaway email address, set up a fake account, and see how "special" your friend is to this person.

2. This is the wrong forum

Although I did see the best movie about catfish. It was a documentary. I think you may get more traction in the small group for computer geeks. Those would be the fokes here who know. You could self delete and move your post there before someone alerts this as not a political video.

I hope we find help for your friend.
