Nev wouldn’t be too happy with this exchange.
Thanks to MTV, “catfish” has become a huge part of our culture, as tons of people have been busted trying to trick people into thinking they are someone they actually aren’t. Just take those two students who were arrested after they catfished a teacher to get his nude photos. But now we have sort of a twist in the typical catfish story.
Twitter user Samantha Bekebeke, from South Africa, recently got a strange request from a stranger. Apparently a woman reached out to her asking for a specific type of photo because she had been using Bekebeke’s photos to catfish a guy, and now she needed proof in order to get the guy to send her money. And let’s just say that Bekebeke took advantage of this.
Let’s first check out the tweet below thanks to Bekebeke’s friend:

Bekebeke then took it to Twitter to clarify the situation, and to reveal she actually received a share of the money:
@segebee @puselletso @_____layslee actually a woman. Spoke to her over the phone to celebrate and get my share of the shmoney. But nvm, y’all know everthing before asking.

But of course, this girl had the right idea:
@_____layslee @AyandaMVP Not advisable… just hope the guy whos being catfished is not a violent guy or a psycho.

Yep, she gets it. In conclusion, let’s stay away from catfishing someone or you might end up being murdered.
