Red flags:
Asking you to go to another site
Asking for your number early

Solution:
Request they send a pix holding an item you choose. Like a brush, shampoo bottle ect

If they cant- they are likely using someone elses pix

Yea.. some catfish can actually read.
Sometimes they actually make threads.
Once in awhile they make scammer threads.

I am not about to teach any criminals how to be a better criminal.

And welcome smokin
