Any advice for catfishing? - turtlesnake - 03-29-2018
Hey guys, I'm new to this forum but I'm happy to be a part of the community. I've been looking all over the web for information about catfishing, but I honestly can't find anything helpful. Could anyone please help me get started? Do you know of any resources that might be helpful? I want to catfish someone on Facebook, but how do I go about adding them, starting a conversation, and holding that conversation? I know there are different strategies. Do you know where I could read about them? Thanks in advance!

It's possible they help in holding a conversation etc. As far as catfishing concerned, I know the show on MTV but that's about all. I'm not really experienced in it any way.

For testing purposes to see how vulnerable users are, I've performed Catfishing successfully on Facebook many times over. I stopped before It reached to a serious level. There was no malicious Intent whatsoever on my part. My fake FB account has over 250 friends and counting- of which I have no Idea who these friends are.
It's beyond the scope of this post to cover everything, so I've only covered the basics.
Here's how you begin.
* Create a fictitious Facebook account (obviously) and allow It to mature.
* In the Interim, gradually hit friend requests and let It populate to a decent amount.
* Post all types events- where you've been, what you've purchased, Images etc (evidently fake).
* Tag users, share Images, like posts and so forth.
* All the above will now have the appearance of a legit account.
* Select and "analyze" your target.
* Post similar Interests, likes and so forth (on your account) as your target. This Is VERY Important. The more commonalities, the better your chances In succeeding your objective.
* Like a few of their posts, but do NOT overdo It.
* When In conversation, praise your target and predominantly focus on "their" happenings rather than your own. This will provide a sense of reassurance, thus keep the conversation at a mutual level.
* If you're a female, post as that gender would normally do so. The same applies with males.
* Add emoticons during your conversation (love hearts etc) that'll entice your target to remain attached.
* All steps thereafter, depend on the nature of the conversation and where It's heading at the time.
As said, I cannot possibly cover every detail, therefore It's quite basic.

I keep thinking of the show as well. Why, may I ask, do you want to catfish someone? And for how long?

Further to my above post, once you've formulated and prepared your profile, do a few practice runs on random users- just to build both experience and confidence.
As such, you'll have some knowledge on what to expect on your real target.
