Don’t Get Baited into Catfishing

WARNING

If you don’t want to get raped or kidnapped you should totally read this...

Hey guys this is Jagger checking in. Todays topic is catfishing. Catfishing is bad for the environment and is a main cause of global warming. We need to put an end to this so called “catfishing.” Now that I have your attention, what catfishing really is, is when someone creates fake accounts using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, with intention to meet someone online hoping to meet them one day to rape or kidnap them.

Three years ago a 14 year old girl went missing and the police did an investigation and found out she’d met the 48-year-old man charged with kidnapping her online. People create fake accounts on social media websites like Facebook and pretend to be cute boys but they are really very old dudes that are weird. They will bait you into thinking that’s who they really are. They will friend request you and you’ll just think “ohh who is this hot guy who wants to be my friend, I should totally accept this.” Next thing you know you’re getting raped.

There’s reason why these “catfishers” will be able to find you in real life and have a chance to rape or kidnap you. One of the reasons being, once you accept them they pretty much know everything about you because people put most of their real information online not realizing random rapist can see it.

GETTING BAITED INTO CATFISHING

• People see a cute girl or boy on Facebook or other social media websites and right away accept their friend request
• When accepting their friend request that allows that person to see and know most things about you because that’s what kids are posting online now a days
• That person will message you with compliments and giving you their number(personal experience)
• If you answer their message and talk to them they won’t seem interested in meeting you face to face.

WAYS TO PREVENT CATFISHING

• Don’t put any real information on whatever social media website you’re using
• Always keep your account private
• Don’t ever accept someone you don’t know
• “Catfishers” will have one or a couple of pictures of them self online
• They will have only a few friends on the social media website they are using

So just remember kids don’t ever accept someone on Facebook or other social media websites that you don’t know or don’t have a lot of mutual friends with. This is Jagger checking out saying stay classy San Diego and that catfishing is bad for your health.
