A catfish will say no or delay the video chat. If they don’t accept a video chat but ask you out for coffee, you can accept the invitation and wait. A catfish will try to delay the appointment by claiming they don’t have the vacation or pretend to be traveling or visiting relatives and not able to meet.
But the easiest and most sure fire way would just be asking them to Skype or sending you a video saying you’re name or something personal. Obviously they can’t try to make excuses since they clearly have a phone so you’ll know right away if they’re a catfish
A catfish will escalate to love very quickly. It may be normal to some people, however, if you only speak with the person online without photos and voice or never meet in person, this could be suspicious. A catfish don’t post videos with their voice or videos of themselves in general. Also, a catfish will avoid video chat and meeting in person.
If you don’t have the courage to tell your family members or close friends, you can share your story on the Catfish Reddit group anonymously. This group will tell you what’s catfish and give you emotional support.
