So I just caught myself a catfisher red handed on accident today. Me (M23) have been swiping in areas that I'm suppose to visit after being tested and cleared. Well couple nights ago I match with a cute girl definitely not out of my league, so I shoot my shot and thought it all was going good. We swap numbers this morning and then while working on some work stuff she starts to try to get me to sext her. I'm ok with this, so I was going to try and draw out the play full flirting so I can finish my work. Well my coworker wanted me to add him on snap while we were on a video call. Well when I go to add my coworker there is the girls contact under people you may know with a guy bitmoji. Confronted the catfisher off their next text and then all is silent and unmatched on tinder.

Why do ppl do this? And how do you guys verify ppl first?

For those that may wonder all photos match and only difference in between them where hair color. So that's why i thought she was real.
