Catfishing

On paper, this is a pretty photo of  agirl holding up a catfish. But real ones—who are well versed in the dangers of the internet—would catch a hint of the deeper meaning. It highlights the irony that online catfishers use photos like this to trick unsuspecting individuals into fraudulent online relationships.

This is a common issue that arose with the growth of social media, where people create fake profiles to manipulate people into long-distance relationships for financial gain, personal vendettas, and blackmail.
