Did you ever talk to someone who was fake? 全部

Hey!
My question is, if you ever talked to someone online who was fake (did pretend to be someone who he/she actually wasn't)?
Or did you have the feeling that someone is fake?
In your opinion, what would be eye-catching for that kind of people?

I am curious about your answers!

Yes, it happened many times, however fake profiles can be easily be recognised in my opinion.
You can understand whether someone is a fake or not by asking him/her several, specific questions, to provide a photo or you can deduce it the way they talk/write.
But it sometimes still happens to talk with someone without realising is immediately.

@Call_me_mattia: Did it happen to you on this website? And how many times did it happen to you?

Yes! On this website years ago...

i lied to some people online in the past.I told them my name is Xiaolan.But actually my name is not xiaolan.Someone once asked me my telephone number, and I gave him a fake one.I told people online that my English is bad,but I have already got 7 in IELTS(that's not a bad score) and I can communicate with my American professor/classmates from another countries fluently.

A guy texted me once on Instagram. He told me he was a pilot and lived in California, US. But his English and his manner to talk were quite strange.
So I showed his Instagram profile to my friends and we found out that this guy was pretending to be a pilot. The real one was German and had his own blog which was famous 🤷‍♀️
He was revealed, ha-ha

Once on this site. I've met many people from penpal in real, like 30 or 40 or so from all over the world. And only one wasn't the person who said he was. So I directly left that location

On this site...until now - no, I don't think so. Or I did not realize it. 😉

On an other penpal-site several times. But it was always so clumsy and easy to see through...

That kind of situation must be hard right? especially when you have contact to that person for a long time. I am in the middle of such a situation, whee I am not sure if my friend is fake or not. It makes me crazy and I don't know what to do 🙁 I know him since years

I don’t think it has happened to me here, since I tend to recognise it quite easily, but it definitely happened elsewhere 😄

It didn't happen to me here yet or if it did so, I don't know. However, I have friends who created caricatural fake profiles on Tinder, but they told the truth before dating. It was just for hoaks so no consequences.
And I have also another story: when I was 15, a friend I knew since I was 4 met a guy on the web. The guy who was 35 or 40 tried to pick her up. She said no, but this creepy guy insisted and was jealous when he learned she saw other boys. The worst was when he said that if she didn't want him, she mustn't have gone on this site. So, I talked with him on MSN (the old time) and he said he was a movie star. I didn't believe him of course, but I still searched his name and didn't find anything. My brother searched too and didn't find either. He helped me, asking him to let us, threatening to blow him down.
The guy didn't understand. And I had a pal in high school who knew programing quite well for a teenager. So, he hacked into his computer and canselled everything in it.
