Ask Steve: Catfished

Carmen is a little suspicious, she's 63 and dating. Carmen met a man online who sounds wonderful. He sends her sweet texts, notes and pictures. Carmen has never talked or seen each other in person.

Do you think Carmen is being catfished?

Everyone needs a man like Berto in their life; whether it's a brother, father, uncle, friend, lover. Everyone needs a Berto

My Grandma actually had this happen. All the family caught on and I found the guy's son, and messaged him. come to find out, the guy was married and his family knew nothing of what he was doing. Broke her heart (we tried to tell her but she wouldn listen). People are horrible. She's been widowed 3 times, and just wanted a companion (and wouldn date the cute lil old men at church).

Catfished. Sorry lady.. no meet? No Skype? Thats a big red flag!

[shankin]

Sorry mom. You seem nice but you are being played. That your UN employee is a big Liar. Top security my foot.

Steve didn't have to ask him to many questions he knew exactly what he was saying ✊🏼

5 years later, here I am saying this.
My mom's friend met the same guy ( or it seems to be a group of people doing this for living ) online, told the same.exact stories, sent some nice pics ... and I am sure he asked this lady later for money ( huge amount of money )
This guy seems to trick older ladies and trust me he tells very convincing stories to get what he wants ... so be careful everyone out there ... didn't realize this is happening to other people .. but just wanted to send a message !!

Whoever thought it was a good idea to quit this show made a big mistake

[lorrainefingal]

...won't be surprised if he is asking her for money. Lol.

Online dating tip:  If you can't meet in person he or she is not real.  Skyping means nothing.

[jay_rael]

lmao clear sign you're being catfished is when they never wanna meet or video chat

[Jennifer-snlw]

Oh I've got 'friends' 😏
Hope Mr. Catfish sees this and fishes somewhere far away from this family 😂

[nwinkom]

The guy is a scammer. It has happened to so many people like that. Run away

[KCSimsStarter]

I really hope I don't have to date in my old age ....

[DonCornelius]

nephew / grandson … whatever he is, he aint having it. That's what Steve is getting at near the end.

"You and your gangsta friends, make sure you take care of her and don't let no fisher take advantage of her"

[rai.leshae]

He's "Top flight security of the world" ....😂 my favorite movie

[vinnyMancini]

Poor lady good thing Steve didn't roast the lady and was kind .

[PeefRimgarGames]

As soon as she said pictures I knew where Steve's mind was going.

[JoyFoolActs]

The whole audience was this lady's family. 😂😂😂

People in high security or diplomatic type jobs don't meet online through social media in the first place. So when the line comes "oh I cannot video chat chat cos of security and my job" you know straight away you're being catfished. Ghost 'em fast.

[dianeshelley]

She's being catfished. When they start asking for money, she'll know for sure.
