catfish alert!

[fruitpunchyy]

Some guy messaged me with the fakest pfp ever (of some low quality pinterest pic of a guy) and claimed he was the guy in his pfp. He asked for my dc, i gave him my user. What did he show me? A guy from pinterest. He told me he's a model, his dad's a businessman and the reason his location says he's in India is because he "travels regularly" to Mumbai. Tbh this is so ridiculous. I can prove a staff member with proof.

Which room was this in? What was the username he used so the room staff can help?

Edit: @Honeycomb previous thread was for TC.
@H.R. PufnStuf op’s profile states they use general chat

hi thanks for letting me know.

We don't have specific a "catfish rule" Itds a good idea to never share any information with anyone- you don't know and trust. And even then it's a gamble.

If anyone in room seems to be trying to scam etc- its best to use the report feature so the staff can see.


EDIT: good advice but not a General Chat issue.

Teen chat. I thought Teen Chat was called General or Main. Whoops, my bad.

oh okay. Thanks. But he is kind of sharing misinformation. Using a random guy as his pfp, saying hes from usa etc. The problem is, teen avenue staff cant see messages on discord. Even if i report him, there's no proof in the chat

NP, since your post is about Teen Chat, I'll leave it to that rooms staff to help you.

wait, I'm talking about chat avenue. The last post was about some pedi that was both on teen chat and on chat avenue. This catfish is in chat avenue. I'm so sorry for the confusion, I'm a little tired

@fruitpunchyy We don't have a rule against catfish anymore. Also, it would be better to DM a moderator that's online with your proof instead of making new forums posts. We'll see it faster

And more than likely complain when you get a kick or a ban for trying to bait/goad another user.

Mentality.

Just what he said. You said you catfish ‘for fun’. Why not leave it to the mods instead? People that catfish are not much better than other creeps on here, in my opinion.

Well, more clarity was needed, my friend. Two people read it as YOU doing the catfishing.

I retract my original statement, then. But I stand by my opinion of catfish lol
