The Tinder hack guaranteed to make you the most liked on the app 5 red flags that you're dating a catfish New data has revealed that 40 per cent of us know someone who has been catfished, while 22 per cent have fallen for catfish themselves. April Davis, founder and president of 1. You can't find them online Almost everyone has a social media presence - especially those who are willing to try dating apps. So if you can't find them anywhere online, like a Facebook, Instagram or even LinkedIn account, this could be a major red flag. April says: 'If you're suspicious, ask to add them on Facebook or Instagram. If they refuse or the account they send you looks new, that's a red flag.' 2. Conversations got personal, quickly Catfish are well known for 'love-bombing,' which is a form of emotional manipulation. So, if the person you're talking to immediately goes over the top with compliments, wants to communicate all the time, and makes statements like 'I love you' within a few days of speaking, it's a big red flag. 3. They don't open up If someone is asking a lot of questions about you but is not willing to offer up much in return, this could be a catfish red flag. This is because these scammers are, of course, not who they say they are and it can be hard for them to keep their lies straight. As a result, most catfishes would rather not give out any personal info at all if they can help it. 4. They ask for money Asking for money, no matter the reason, is a huge red flag. Whether they want a bank transfer or your credit card number, catfishes have a wide range of sob stories to tell when it's time to try to swindle you out of your cash. 5. They won't show their face Unsurprisingly, someone who doesn't want to show who they are in a video call or real-time pictures could be a catfish. The last thing a catfish wants is for you to see their real face because they usually steal pictures from someone else to use. This means they are likely to refuse to send photos or do video calls.
