Catfishing involves creating fictitious online personas to emotionally or financially exploit others. Fortunately, scammers follow predictable behavioral scripts.
1. Repeated Excuses to Avoid Video Calls
If someone refuses to engage in a quick 2-minute video call using Zobeya’s built-in calling feature, claiming their camera is perpetually broken or their connection is weak, proceed with caution.
2. Unrealistic declarations of love within days
Known as "love-bombing," scammers attempt to overwhelm you with excessive affection before asking for urgent financial assistance or gift cards. Legitimate connections build steadily over time.
