*Kails*:
there is a barrage of them on this site ma'am. of that i am very sure. Both male and female catfishes are swimming about! time to roll up those sleeves, stick your fists and their mouths and pull them out!! (See advice at the bottom!)

Classic examples of deception:
1)* stealing pictures 2) lying about their lifestyles 3) pretending to have a certain personality or "swag" that offline is not who they are (trolls, cyber bullies, "popular online =offline nobody"; etc).

Same as any other site really. As for me, i fall into the last category and im not afraid to admit it.

Kails' confession: offline i am not as outspoken to strangers. hehehehe.

>>> *tumblr and instragram have both created a "kid in candy store" platform for people to steal identities online like crazy!! what i like to do and advise everyone to practice is to request that the person post a picture of themselves with a handwritten sign of their usernames.

The reactions are priceless!

"you don't have to believe me. that's me! i know the truth! But i'm not going to do it because i don't have to!" if you get a reaction like that, keep it moving..

Rooneyboy: see this my long lost buddy ooo, I remember u vividly, we were very close sometime in November 'I guess', after a while I stopped hearing from u, "and wasn't bothered anyway" .

I'm surprised a meat seller won ur heart.

I remember wanting to give u a very good cousin of mine that just relocated to texas and u turned it down.


How are u, hope u've gotten over the shock

mimifonwon:


but your cousin is in the usa, and i dont think he would be my type anyways if i wanted to date, i like mature men, not old or too young,

there she goes again, infact lemme tell u the truth dear , he wld hv swept u off ur feet had it been u agreed then.
Deep down inside of me I was happy u rejected the "friendship offer, " lol

Truthfully u might hv ended up being heart broken, With tons of ladies that flock around him daily and u not being able hold him down as a "friend". .

A 6"2 tall Naija model not being your type

Give me a break.

So how are u coping with ur new buddy ?

Rooneyboy:


oh your cousin being 6'2 and a model dont mean nothing to me, am sure his full of himself. The truth is i dont go for pretty-model type boys, because they are narcissistic, and not trustworthy( maybe your cousin is,idk) and they have a tendency to flow between streams, plus i dont like to share.


My point exactly , his aint just streams but oceans, lol , he has it so easy with ladies and gets on with his life as soon as he's done eating the "catfish in between ur legs "


i dont get my heart broken, cuz i haven not fallen for anyone in such manner before and i doubt your cousin will my heart go kedike.

I would just assume u are high on something for u to have typed this crap......
Someone that has had his way on a couple of celebs and............

mimifonwon:



those celebs must be ashawos, and without morals. and my dear dont ever compare me to any celeb, its an insult to me.

I'm sorry dear, wasn't comparing u to nobody, was just trying to make my point clear.

and its sad you agreed you cousin travels between streams cuz what it means is that he bleeps what ever he sees, man or woman( hopely he travels down stream more than up stream ). no vex, na my opinion i dey yarn.

I'm glad u said it was ur own opinion, what I meant actually was that he's got tons of ladies @ his beck and call.

If u still see urself to be the female James Bond "that has got no blood flowing through her veins" y don't u consider him being a friend while I watch as things unfold .

Rooneyboy:

mimifonwon: So i was in naija recently, i have met some cool people here on nairaland, and some have emailed me, i just wanted friendship and someone to hang with when i got to nigeria. So i met this guy ( will not name him cuz i really feel sorry for him, if he will go to such extent to be someone else, he was one of the contestant for mr.nairaland). Anyways i thought this guy was hot, ( na me be the mugu), it wasnt like i was trying to do him ( am a good girl, wasnt looking for that). Anyways this guy and i had been emailing and even skyped, but he always said he couldnt cam up, but always asked me to cam up. I have to admit he was funny, handsome and was everything i liked in a guy, and he said he just graduated from uni in uk and relocated to naija for nysc. I was really taken away by his patriotic spirit, anyways, fast forward we had been chatting with eachother for 4 months until i got to naija. I gave him my number and invited him to come to my uncle's house where i was staying in lagos and he kept giving some excuses, i was getting angry,one time he said his car broke down and the other time he said he just got robbed on his way to meet me so he ended up not coming. Anyways i offered to have someone come pick him up, but he said no, that his gateman lost the key to open the gate, so he has to wait for his sister who had the spare key to come back,i believed him( abi na me be mugu). This guy man, was so kind in his words and reassuring that i just related everything to bad luck, but the day i was about to go to the east to visit my grandmother's village he calls and askes me if i would still be his friend if he wasnt so handsome and had all the money he claimed he had. I was like sure, why not, i didnt befriend you for your money, yes i was attracted to him, but it was his character and words that won me over. Anyways he says i should come to oshodi and that he will meet me there, and so just curious i convinced my brother and my cousins to follow me there, when i finally met the guy, he was a meat seller, and yes he was a graduate, but i was amazed how well he fooled me, even his british accent he faked was good. He told me how much he liked me when he saw my picture and knew i wouldnt talk to him if he didnt play big boy. I was shocked, but i forgave him, no he wasnt even cute, he was 37 year old guy, and short, nothing like the pictures he sent me, but yes i learned my lesson, and that is why i am done befriending people on nairaland, i dont like to be deceived. So if anyone has had similar deceitful experience- what we in america call catfish experience" please feel free to share.. Yes btw i know i was a big Fool X infinity to trust a guy i met online, talk of Nairaland.. I felt so useless...

i saw a documentary today and it was like dejavu

so does anyone have a catfish story?

Vikin:

He also had a very noticeable bow leg that could strangle someone without using his hands.

Anyway, the little love I had grown disappeared.

After that he left promising that he was gonna call that evening, but just as I joined my friend, you know what she said?

Wow! That guy mouth na shark o!

I didn't know if to laugh or ......but I can tell you that was the end of my catfish story!

Vikin:

Interesting!

I once had this cat fish that only describe the good part of him....tall, clean skin, pointed nose etc.

We talked on phone for almost 2 months but never saw each other cos we stayed in different city. When I finually went back to my city for school, I had to ask him to meet me in my faculty.

He arrived and he was everything he said about himself and much more. My friend excused us and was standing around the corner. He was just smiling at me, with the look of he really fancied what he saw.

Anyway, we got talking, I was doing most of the talking then I crack a joke that made him explode with laughter. He laughed so hard that I noticed that, there were plenty teeth in his mouth.

It was then very obvious that maybe all his teeth carried a twin

Forgive me! Lmao...

ifyalways: Very funny.

The few nlders I've met are exactly what they present to be online, besides the clownish acts though.

Page would hit the homepage if you'll be kind enough to unmask him.
Just wondering how the fella you met was able to combine meat selling and nlding?it takes active nlding to participate in nld beauty contests, no?

achi4u: hahahaha If you can believe most of ppl in nl with their mouth and pictures den you can believe anything even naija movies. @mimi did you met the guy selling meat at d mkt or he just told you what he is doing for a living..because as boastful as he is__I didnt agree he is the one who told you dat he's a meat seller. You find out yourself?
