Catfish? Please enlighten me?
catfish are scum sucking bottom feeders, you know the kind they are. Just like politicians
Catfish are people with fake profiles & stolen photos from the internet claiming to be someone they are not. Usually they steal some models photo or someone's personal pictures from Instagram or Facebook accounts. They will then attempt to pull a romance scam on unsuspecting, lonely & vulnerable singles on dating sites. Catfish can be any age, male or female. Usually it's someone in a country like Nigeria running the romance scams to get you to send them money. Anyway hope that helps.
Does it actually work?
Yes if you upload their photo & search the image it will bring up the other places on the internet where that photo is also posted. It's a good way bust them in their lies & scams once you have proof that they stole someone else's photos.
