- If they do call, watch out for backgrounnd noise. No background noise, red flag.
- Catfishers often won't send pictures from the current time, as they can't. They also don't have a webcam and can't make video calls.
- They keep putting off plans, but promise they will meet with you later. They often have very dramatic reasons as to why they had to cancel.
- They ask you for money, or bribe you to do things for either money or meeting up with you.

- The photos they send are vbad quality, or they just don't seem quite right.
