#shoutout to education 😁 Top 10 ways to protect y/ourself online from #catfishers/ #Scammers pretending to be other people 👉 1👉Verify Their Identity Research the person's #social media #profiles, and check for consistency across platforms. Look for verification badges and check if their friends and followers seem genuine. 2👉Use Reverse Image Search Upload their photos to Google Lens( lifesaver for the visually impaired) or TinEye to check if they're using someone else's images. 3👉Be Cautious with Strangers Treat online conversations like real-life interactions. Be wary of people who seem too perfect or rush into relationships. 4👉Don't Overshare Keep personal info, like your address and financial details, private. 5👉Ask Specific Questions Test their knowledge about their claimed background, location, or interests. 6👉Video Call Suggest a video call to verify their identity. If they refuse, it's a red flag. ps.... I personally am not comfortable with this one But it is recommended. 7👉Monitor Your Accounts Regularly check for suspicious activity and report any fake profiles. 8👉Use Secure Platforms Opt for end-to-end encrypted messaging apps and video chat platforms. 9👉Don't Send 💰 Never send money to someone you've met online, no matter how convincing their story. 10👉Trust Your #Instincts If something feels off, trust your gut and distance yourself Want to know more about spotting #catfishing signs or how to report a catfisher? #AskMeQuestions I was catfished off of Christian mingles...
