Yesterday I get a text on WhatsApp from a number I've never seen. I reply "Who are you?" And I get "Oh, I'm sorry. I typed the wrong number. Blah blah blah." I figured I'd get a "send me $ and I'll send you nudes" or "BTW, I really need $" or something. I've had a couple of wrong numbers on WhatsApp and I've ignored them.
But I was really bored yesterday so I wondered where they would go and started texting back. All the marks of catfishing are there: attractive Asian woman (she's sending pics but no nudes); world traveler; rich, etc. So far she/he/it hasn't asked for any money or any confidential info so I'm just screwing around seeing what the next text will be.
I have no idea what this person's end goal is going to be. I have not disclosed any private details of my life and I have no intention of sending money or making plans to meet or anything like that. So what should I do? End it? Make outrageous demands? Keep playing along? [Reply]

Well, I sent a pic from a fishing trip so if they did a geolocate it would be in remote Alaska. It's a pic that's already posted on social media so I figured that was already available. [Reply]

You may be correct. I didn't read much of this article, but it relates directly to what you said. [Reply]
