Catfishing refers to a type of Romance Scam where the scam assumes a fake identity to defraud strangers online. They often pose as army personnel as it provides an easy excuse to avoid meeting in person. They may use images stolen from real accounts and string the victim along for months or even years, slowly extracting more and more money as the scam goes along.
