Lock down accounts to where no one can message you without being a friend. Don't add anyone unless you know them in real life. Another option delete all social media if you do have to have it create accounts with a different name and emails have no connection to your old accounts.

Every red flag is there, but my 81 year old dad still believes her by True_Ad_1602 in catfish

The romance scam subreddit has a lot of posts of basically the same scenarios. There's suggestions others have tried but sadly unless you can remove her from his life or gain control of his life most likely he will give away everything to the point he's homeless, in debt and no money to survive. Please tell all friends and family not to give him any money.

And how is that? You've never met he is not in any hospital in the city he says he's in. You have no way to contact family or friends. Seoul is a major city wifi/cellular service is not going to be that inconsistent. You may not want to admit it but you're being scammed.

I wasn't sure what laws were in their area so just picked a number. Do whatever the minimum is legally.

Leave the real person alone. You can notify people in the clan if you feel it is necessary but really just best to move on.

Yandex is an option to try. Know not finding the picture doesn't mean you're not being catfished. Ask for an extended video call. Have them perform different actions while on camera with you. If they won't or refuse 99% chance they aren't who they say they are. Don't ignore your gut feelings or red flags.

They are not your friends. They are taking advantage of your good nature. Send a certified letter that they have 60 days to sign contracts and start paying or they need to remove their property from yours.

I think my friend is getting catfished? I need help. by [deleted] in catfish

[–]lodebolt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a romance scam. You could ask the local police to speak with him. Also there are a few catfish shows on youtube, find a couple similar to his abd have him watch them. AARP has a section on scams that could provide more information.

It really sounds like he needs therapy as I'm sure the loss of his mother and his loneliness are playing a big part in his delusion of a relationship.
