Isn't catfishing and phishing different?
I always thought catfishing was more a social media thing... where a fat lonely guy (wheel, for example) starts posting as a hot young woman in various dating sites etc... they put up a model's picture and chat with the guys as if they were the model. They may drag it on for a really long time, may ask for gifts from the guy....
Phishing is stuff like sending an email which looks like it's from your bank saying something like "your account has potentially been hacked! you need to click this link to verify your identity immediately!" the link goes to a dummy website that asks them for acct number, SSN, that sort of thing and of course collects it for use.
