Holiday Season Catfishing: How to Spot an Online Dating Scam

What is it about the holidays that seem to ignite the spark for uncoupled people? Some say the combination of cold weather and the holidays creates a need for cuddles, also known as “cuffing season." With all the single ladies and men jumping online to find a date for the festive season, it also brings out the scammers, or catfishers.

Whether you’re hopping onto Match.com, Zoosk, or other online dating app, you’re likely to see a fresh crop of daters joining the scene, especially right after the first of the year. Catfishers know this, too.

The catfish scam is only getting worse, and you’re likely to encounter one regardless of which dating site you use.
