Ask Steve: Catfished

Carmen is a little suspicious, she's 63 and dating. Carmen met a man online who sounds wonderful. He sends her sweet texts, notes and pictures. Carmen has never talked or seen each other in person.
Do you think Carmen is being catfished?

[@haypac5840]

Everyone needs a man like Berto in their life; whether it's a brother, father, uncle, friend, lover. Everyone needs a Berto

[@beautyfolse4249]

YEAH BERTO LOOK OUT FOR HER. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@lucioaldair4401]

Facts

[@TheJSkiddy]

My Grandma actually had this happen. All the family caught on and I found the guy's son, and messaged him. come to find out, the guy was married and his family knew nothing of what he was doing. Broke her heart (we tried to tell her but she wouldn listen). People are horrible. She's been widowed 3 times, and just wanted a companion (and wouldn date the cute lil old men at church).

[@TheJSkiddy]

Being An Anomaly I know, I still feel bad for her. But she is 70+ and internet dating...times have DEF changed!

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

@bob marley this is dumb as hell. Adopt a dog. Done.

[@vnehealth]

Dang t thats crazy

[@GODFavorsBrendaHisJOY]

Jack-asses go to church too and the older ones can be the scamiest ones..."Jesus help!"

[@Yolinstrun4e182]

Catfished. Sorry lady.. no meet? No Skype? Thats a big red flag!

[@Nick-mz4fc]

skinny and anorexic you mean

[@m.w.5411]

True but sometimes people just dont like to facetime i sure as hell dont its annoying but when it comes to meeting they should be open when they're comfortable enough with you

[@Willy-nu3oc]

So long as he doesn't ask for money, it'll be fine.

[@ibhazejoshua3340]

He’s a scam. Internet scam

[@allanc1894]

Steve didn't have to ask him to many questions he knew exactly what he was saying ✊🏼

[@lucioaldair4401]

Facts 😎

[@lstockton8468]

Carmen better call Nev and Max! LOL

[@lorrainefingal7574]

...won't be surprised if he is asking her for money. Lol.

[@luwamalem9537]

Yeah, previously on 'Catfish ' 😂😩

[@KJAD_Radio]

But it's for the UN 🤣

[@JoyFoolActs2035]

That's what I was thinking.

[@shankin9044]

Sorry mom. You seem nice but you are being played. That your UN employee is a big Liar. Top security my foot.

[@stephaniebrooklyn8237]

she is being catfished. I know people in the united nations and they get to skype after work. What a loser.

[@BtwAlice]

stephanie brooklyn ikr. It’s UN, not Illuminati. And damn, there was this guy on Tinder trying to convince me that he was a member of Illuminati

[@wendyvdveer9930]

Phương Linh Trần Lê 🤣🤣🤣

[@Nofretari]

Phương Linh Trần Lê if he was run far away

[@khaledqaddourah4412]

That's new, "my foot" lolol 😂🤣😂

[@QueenOfTheCoast]

Whoever thought it was a good idea to quit this show made a big mistake

[@marwajlassi6114]

5 years later , here I am saying this. My mom's friend met the same guy ( or it seems to be a group of people doing this for living ) online , told the same.exact stories , sent some nice pics ... and I am sure he asked this lady later for money ( huge amount of money ) This guy seems to trick older ladies and trust me he tells very convincing stories to get what he wants ... so be careful everyone out there ... didn't realize this is happening to other people .. but just wanted to send a message !!

[@Mario-ur8ti]

Well-said Marwa. They are called scammers. They trick older lonely caucasian ladies and bleed them dry. They are usually from West Africa.

[@darknight264441]

She is being catfished.

[@jay_rael]

lmao clear sign you're being catfished is when they never wanna meet or video chat

[@k.o.h8446]

Mia lol

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

@Mia yeah, I don't think a webcam makes ANYONE look better.

[@empressoliver3341]

Not always

[@Jennifer-sn4lw]

Oh I've got 'friends' 😏 Hope Mr. Catfish sees this and fishes somewhere far away from this family 😂

[@steph15hudgins]

she sounds just like Wanda Sykes 😶😶😶

[@Lola-qy9yt]

true

[@rai.leshae913]

He's "Top flight security of the world" ....😂 my favorite movie

[@ladylove32219]

Online dating tip: If you can't meet in person he or she is not real. Skyping means nothing.

[@martialartsnerd7673]

Or if there a model or rap Artist.

[@JoyFoolActs2035]

The whole audience was this lady's family. 😂😂😂

[@DonCornelius366]

nephew / grandson … whatever he is, he aint having it. That's what Steve is getting at near the end. "You and your gangsta friends, make sure you take care of her and don't let no fisher take advantage of her"

[@nwinkom]

The guy is a scammer. It has happened to so many people like that. Run away

[@KCSimsStarter]

I really hope I don't have to date in my old age ....

[@SS-yf9yv]

I had this exact same encounter with a guy who claimed he worked for the UN, oil rig, can’t talk but using the email. Can’t talk on Skype or FaceTime, I blocked him because he’s more than likely a Nigerian scammer

[@PeefRimgarGames]

As soon as she said pictures I knew where Steve's mind was going.

[@mspayal100]

She is 60 years old and she is dating. I m 30 years and I m dieing every sec.

[@rosaazul88]

oh a whole lot of friends 😁

[@andyjay9346]

People in high security or diplomatic type jobs don't meet online through social media in the first place. So when the line comes "oh I cannot video chat chat cos of security and my job" you know straight away you're being catfished. Ghost 'em fast.

[@vinnyMancini96]

Poor lady good thing Steve didn't roast the lady and was kind .

[@dianeshelley6439]

She's being catfished. When they start asking for money, she'll know for sure.

[@Whyamiherel0l]

I lost it when he stood up

[@vesparoyale007]

The moment she said, "I met this guy online and he's super nice, sent me pictures...." I had that feeling right away where it was going. Glad her family is watching out for her and her relative has "a whole lot of friends". Hope Mr. Catfish is watching....Keep it moving buddy!!!

[@US_of_A]

Poor women. She seemed so nice poor women had to deal with that stress.

[@sweetfayce18]

I like her.keep living your best life. She got a good support team.

[@niecyshaw68]

[@yvonnemford6169]

I am texting a Marine overseas for 13 months now. Never met him. He can't FaceTime for security reasons. My daughter thinks it's a scam, so does my cousin. We have lots of love 💘 for each other. Sometimes I wonder, but my feelings are growing stronger for him.

[@mohamedmuhumed7743]

It is a scam run away

[@bharatigehani216]

Please ask him to verify himself. His details, social media accounts, a picture of him in a certain pose etc.

[@dance4life1208]

[@louriannemendes2368]

dance4life1208 yesss, I was looking for this comment lol. He is FINEEE!

[@andrianquestell1670]

dance4life1208 I'll let my older brother know you said that.

[@stud8230]

That's a hundred right there if they will not Skype you and if you ask them if they have a Snapchat and they say no that's a no-go

[@kianna2530]

“ Go head girl”😂

[@rawrrrz]

she's 63 knowing slang I just had to google.. catfished?! we got some in my ging ging's pond, you hungry? didn't know what this segment was about to be.. but after google provided me with a (US informal) definition? yup, sounds like it. BUT she got dude with friends, Steve knows best again.

[@MnM412614]

If God wants you to have somebody you will...

[@martialartsnerd7673]

[@zazahu]

[@yahainHotPink]

[@wrenegade-goblin]

[@phoenixbird4435]

It happened to me. Exactly the same scenario as this lady here. In the end he asked for money.Money I don’t have to give,the guy turned nasty so in the end I blocked him

[@marcelsmith3510]

Berto....😍😍

[@telegnes4500]

This old lady is so naive. Of course it is a catfish. Be careful.

[@kiwifashion]

Dating via internet....can't she be happy just being single and giving herself compliments instead of listening to a load of BS from scammers.

[@zazahu]

+kiwifashion u sound ignorant....

[@sweetfayce18]

Uh be quiet!

[@Forestventures]

The faces Steve Harvey makes cracks me up everytime 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kaktusdesiberie7196]

I understand trying to catfish people when you want to scam them but outside of this I don’t understand what is the point.

[@mznelson98]

OMG...I HATE STEVE IN A GOOD WAY!!!!lol He keeps me laughing!

[@makaylabanton1521]

Her laugh lol 😂

[@moedarock]

She looks like the female version of Danny DeVito

[@sofiaisabella3317]

Top security can’t do Skype 🤣

[@vnehealth]

[@AllThingsFitnessandLifestyle]

Keep fishing, just don’t get cat fished 😭

[@TheHotcoffee11]

If they ask for money for any reason at all, big red flag. Skype or not.

[@dudleysquibbles6366]

At 0:06 I thought I heard her say "Hi, I'm 6!"

[@violetabanagenkito3213]

Being scammed of money is easy. Being scammed to be a drug mule, willing or not, is scary

[@The_Jumpman]

Just don’t zoom call

[@Noura-vx9kp]

Catfished? What does that mean??

[@kurkur078]

Use logic. A fine looking man wanna hook up with a 63yo woman? I dont think so.

[@donnagreen4966]

[@sinasosa305]

[@juliusbrown769]
