Okay, there has been an influx of people ripping off Instagram accounts and such and entering different chats with certain schemes and I am not entirely sure what they are as most seem to be using translators or something to that effect. The other night one came in and was called out for impersonating a celebrity with 4.7 million followers yet had about 100 on here (hmmm, you wouldn't bring over followers to get rich quick with 4.7 million horny weirdos watching you stare blankly at a leaf). 🤑
(He-Man from Google Search in Existential Angst that the Catfishing didn't work)
So as a small collective we called out the bullshit and a few guys were blasting me for it because they were rather lacking in the logic department that the numbers and also saying statements such as which country you lived in were not matching up. (for starters). The amazing happened! The person got on voice after an hour of coaxing and what do you know a voice morpher, and a very bad one at that! Even after being completely called out the person fled like a bandit with their plot to pollute the Steemian Seas foiled.

Today, yet another Instagrammar with no grammar, not saying mine is stellar but at least my free-form "Devil May Care" attitude has garnered a modicum of respect from some! This one basically started arguing with people and the usual Q & A's about the usual B & S. So my inner Jane Bond came out and asked one simple question to this Instagram Star gracing us with her presence....."Just say you got that last message I just sent you", "IT" said yes.
Here is the problem, I never sent one so Case Closed.
Have a great day or night and Steem On and Beware the Catfish that are trolling for unsuspecting drunken sailors!

(if you wanna hang on the Viking Ship check me out here or Direct Message me on Discord because I get bored at times and like to talk to random people)
agreed.. i think its cute tho... i hope everyone that is pretending to be either a blogger, artist, musician,comedian, etc on steemit currently enjoys the free roam, soon as we see more users we wont see so many fucking posers
I already see a ton being weeded out and some major circle jerkers stay in their little circles only depending on like 2 people to keep them afloat........ I like people who just leave comments on their own stuff and that's it, anyways getting ready for one million rappers and one million catfish and an influx of "models" lmfao. I see more and more content not written even by the people posting. Let the games begin.
These Catfish pop up in the strangest of places. Reminds me to go through my friends list and do some snooping...
you wouldn't like what you found on some, I digress
I'm Ron Burgundy?
You know how it goes, however on Steemit the scammers will not last long. The community is a different story all together. And eventually none of those scammers will succeed as there are already loads of people unmasking them anyway. Great read. Steem on!

Many fish in the sea, but I'm finding out the best place for most is on the bbq.
@battleaxe it's really awesome article!!
thank you kindly
Pretty certain that it is he-man who got catfished in that photo, he was expecting a 22 year old virgin and ended up with Beast Man.
Personally, I'm starting to question if you're actually Lucy Lawless😂
I thought that was Zena! ;-)
Xena. She was a warrior princess who believed in equality and a world without borders, her power and reach still feared to this day by Xenaphobes (not to be confused with xenophobes)
No power to the catfishies!
Let's make quality content great again.
The scammers are out in full force... First its IG then snapchat and what next! Have to be on the lookout for these guys!
Why are people so unoriginal? Like it takes 2 seconds to look in the mirror people.
Agreed - maybe Steemit should bring back Facebook or Reddit authentication to filter new accounts.
umm interesting...i have seen accounts on here without post but with high account value, make me think...

Hopefully they get bored and are filtered out. Original content creators is what will make Steemit great. Thanks for the post
