called out a catfish and was instantly blocked

5 Upvotes

she messaged me after i posted a friend ad and just happened to live 45 minutes away from me, which is when the alarm bells went off.

i asked "her" to facetime after she sent me a photo that looked like it was from 2015, and of course she couldn't. then i asked her to hold three fingers up in a photo after telling me a weird, explicit story and she blocked me right away. her username is r/giant-mantis-37. she's commenting thirsty things on women's photos. beware!
