Help us catch some Catfish!

The documentary "Catfish" (and subsequent MTV show), and the recent news involving the Manti Te'o girlfriend hoax shows us that people using fake internet profiles is more of an epidemic than anyone ever imagined. The purpose of this blog is to expose potential Catfish and alert the real owners to their pictures being used fraudulently. To report a potental Catfish, please email [email protected], or follow the "submit" instructions on this blog. *DISCLAIMER* We are in no way affiliated with the MTV show Catfish. This page is run by a former catfish victim who, after a year of harassment, was successful in uncovering the truth about their catfish. Getting catfished is incredibly traumatic and no one deserves to experience the shame and humiliation that comes with it. This page is for those who wish that there was someone who could help but can't afford a private investigator and are not willing to contact MTV and have their personal info made public. Your personal information will never be revealed. Your anonymity will be maintained.

I was catfishes by Gabe- I know who's behind it

This person got to me. I know who's behind it. Full name, address, family, phone numbers, etc. she got to me and another girl in Brooklyn. At one point she introduced me to the other girl and months later when I started putting the pieces together I met back up with the girl and confirmed everything. The girl is Gabby, she poses as his cousin. Not only is this a serial catfishes but it has escalated. She became each of our best friend. We hung out constantly, she'd bring me soup when I was sick, stayed at my house, consoled me when I cried about Gabe, I've met her parents, her other friends and the other girl targeted has done the same. The other girl hated me. Gabby had been taking candid photos of me when we hung out and sending em to the other girl as Gabe to make her jealous. I'm looking into legal possibilities to take her down but the pain and mental damage she has caused myself and the other girl is horrifying. She is mentally ill and drawing in her targets closer and closer and I don't want anyone else to experience I have. There is so much more to this, I'm happy to fill anyone in so long as it helps bring her to justice and I hope get her some help for her illness.

Here is another submission! If you have any information on this person or can confirm/deny that he is who he says he is, please email [email protected] with "Jay Life" as the subject line.

"Here is a person I met and corresponded with on BlackPlanet.com.

His e-mail is [email protected] PeopleSearch-type searches yielded me nothing about him. He says his name is Jay Life, age 43 DOB 2/23. There are several pictures of him on his BlackPlanet site - screen name LIFEOFJAYLIFE. He says claims to be a biker and a firefighter. Claims to ive in Narrowsburg, NY. Searching the various search engines, I ran upon his e-mail connected to the name John Floyd from an old ad about a Scion for sale. In the most recent pictures he sent me, one he was wearing sunglasses, and one he was in a car far away where I couldn't get a good look at his face. Ironically, we stopped speaking after 3 months on the phone when he accused me of sending him pictures that did not look like me. That came at the point we planned to meet... the meeting never took place, but to this day, I am curious."

Barry the young entreprener

Another submission! If you think you have been victimized by the same person, or know who the real person is behind this account, please contact us at [email protected].

"https://twitter.com/bazspartan/media/grid

This is Barry. He claims to be 26 and a young property developer worth millions. He makes offers of gifts and is forever sending photos of luxurious watches and things on twitter that he 'owns.' The thing is, they always look like pictures he's found from Google. 

I've tried to find the photos he's posted of himself on Twitter  via Google by cross referencing, but I can't find them anywhere.

On numerous occasions I've tried to make him call me, when I call him it always goes to voicemail. Once it actually rang but with an English dial tone when he told me he was in America on a business trip.

We use whatsapp to communicate with each other. We spoke for a while but then I started asking to Skype. He claimed he'd added me but the request never came up and he got angry with me for continuing to ask. Same with sending pictures. I used to ask him to send me pictures of stuff he claimed he was doing. e.g. 'in the hot tub' then he wouldn't reply for ages when he would usually respond immediately.

We arranged to meet a few times but each time he came up with an excuse. For example, he claimed he bought a new car but had a car crash then uploaded a photo on twitter to make it seem legit.

He claims to be this multi-millionaire but is always online on whatsapp. I know that when I'm working I rarely get time to whatsapp! 

He also speaks a bit 'texty' e.g. 'R u ok'.... for someone who is meant to be an important entrepreneur you'd think he would have gained some class and manners and realised that's not how you speak.... I for one coming from what you might call an "upper class social background" know that it's not a common way of speaking.

At first he would make sexual advances in messages but I would become angered and not speak to him and quickly he stopped and we would just speak about normal things in the end. 

I'm desperate to find out who this man really is as I see him favouriting on twitter all the time, always girls tweets. He never actually speaks to anyone, which I also pulled him up on. Anyone he does speak to I have contacted and said they have never actually met him.

He used to inbox me for months pestering me until I finally started speaking to him, so I'm worried how many other girls he is also preying on.  please help me find who this Barry Spartan really is!"

WE FOUND HIM!

Our very first CatfishExpose was a success!

Through much research and investigation, we found the man whose pictures were being used to catfish a large number of women all over the world. Kristian Steen was alerted to his pictures being used and we are now one step closer to stopping the catfish who used them for good.

The catfish who used Kristian's pictures has been found as well. Her (yes, she's a girl) name is Gabby (Gabriella) Varga and she lives in the Queens area of New York City. She works under the alias Gabriel or Gabe (Gabe...Gab-e...Gabby. Get it?) Voxberg or Wagner. She is known to use a large number of different phone numbers from apps such as SendSpace in order to trick her victims. Some of the false identities are "Carla," said to be Gabe's sister, and also a wide variety of "friends."

"Gabe" claims to be Hungarian. "Gabe" also says he works at Apple, which has been confirmed to be false by the human resources department at Apple headquarters. "Gabe" claims to have a french bulldog and has been caught using pictures of other people's dogs. A little grey one was used at first (who was discovered to really be louieandlola) and now an undisclosed black and white one is being used.

These are just a few details of an incredibly complex character created by the dark and troubled mind of this mentally ill girl. Gabby must be stopped. If you know her,  please let her know that she has been exposed.

Here is a list of the phone numbers that are being used by Gabby to catfish:

1(914) 346-7317 (main)

1(202) 803-8534 (false number from an app)

1(202) 709-3286 (false number from an app)

A True Story

Almost 5 years ago, I was sitting at my desk at work when I got a text from a good friend - let’s call this friend Adam. It was an urgent text. Adam told me about this girl he knew who was in a tough spot and needed help - let’s call the girl Nichole. Adam & Nichole had met...
