With so many people using the internet and social media, it is only a matter of time before someone decides to try to trick you when you cannot physically interact with them or see them. Online impersonation is often referred to as catfishing, which was made popular by a show on MTV called “Catfish.”
As a result, the term is widely used to describe online interactions between people where one person is actively deceiving another through email, text message, chat, or even video apps using special software to make them look like someone else.
Catfishing is where one person has created a fake online presence and profile to engage with others. They may say they are wealthy or incredibly attractive, even when they are not. Yet, impersonating someone for fun or gain can border on the lines of being illegal and could result in turning into fraud.
