I'm just going to be real right now, I'm suspecting at least one person on here who is catfishing.
Curious to see if they respond to this post or not.
(Don't ban me, moderators. I think you are great).
Totally agree, Katie.
That's part of why I wrote this thread.
Because I'm hoping people will be smart about it and no one else will get hurt.
They've already given the old, "My friend is a photographer..." excuse, so I'm totally with you.
No, I'm never going to mention who I think it is. Like I said in another post, I don't want to promote gossip, but I will promote sensibility and using common sense. I've already given some of the things I personally look for:
1. Model-perfect pictures.
2. They mention that someone close to them is "a photographer".
3. A high number of posts in a very short amount of time (not always an indication, but when combined with the other two factors, it always signals a red flag for me.)
Also, please don't be fooled if someone "gets on cam". Less than a year ago I knew someone here (let's call them X) who was in love with a CC member, and when I told them, "Something doesn't sound right," this person insisted that the other person had "gotten on cam" with a sign that said, "I love you, X!!!"
The catch? The person never actually showed their face--just their hands, and the sign.
And was soon banned not long afterwards.
Please, everyone... Keep your heart safe.
God values it very highly.
P.S. Let's not talk about names, or who it may be.
But plenty of clues have been given throughout this thread.
