II wasn't going to do one of these today but something changed my mind🤣😠 today i have had at least a dozen follow requests on Instagram by 'fake' accounts and it is so annoying. Some are just bots, some pretend to me a model, actress etc and others are using real womens photos and claiming it is them😠 they often don't even have the skill or imagination to make them look credible. Etc the bots which while annoying are fairly harmless the majorityof these fake accounts are set up in some attempt to con naive , horny men. The ones that really anger me are the ones imitating a real person and playing on the loyalty of that persons fans!!! While i am savy and old enough to spot these fake accounts 99% of the time there are those who fall for these scams and in some cases conned out of thousands. Rant over🤣😠

@dhyani thanks for your comment on this and my recent Status Update! And thanks for reminding me of the term 'Catfish' , i knew there was a word but had a blank. While more frequent these days it is not a new thing and been going as long the internet has. I remember using the AOL chat rooms in the 90s and the WWF room was often visited by wrestlers. One time i struck up a conversation with a wrestler and he was chatting about his career etc but something didn't feel right and it was not till i menioned his recently deceased tag team partner that he admitted he was not actually the wrestler he was claiming to be😠

Yes, no doubt con artists have been with us since the first animal mimicked another to steal food or not be eaten by predators. The best we can do is be circumspect and defend ourselves accordingly. Have a great day! 🌞🙋🏻♀️
