We're back for 2023!! We begin this episode attempting to read a submission, but get distracted by a British guy and some life updates. Lauren tells us all about how the Brit tried to play her and how she called him out on it in front of his friends. We also update you guys on some news!!!! (Spoiler, CHANELLE IS ENGAGED AND HER WEDDING IS IN FIVE MINUTES!!!)
We finally get into a couple of submissions about times where listeners experienced realizing a guy wasn't into them by something they did. The audacity is overflowing. Also, if your ex reached out to you but had a current girlfriend/boyfriend, would you tell them? We get into this one as Lauren tells us about her experience being the current girlfriend and receiving that message.
This episode is a continuation of episode 26, so if you haven't listened, go back to that first! Part 2 goes into more examples of internet scams, including medical scams (need money for medical bills, my family member is sick, etc), and another scam that has been mistaken for sex trafficking (it's not). Chad also tells us how he got a scammer to leave her husband for him and how he confused two scammers so badly, they both claimed to be the same person. We also talk about where to see a day in the life of a Nigerian scammer (see below for name of show/where to watch), what happens when a scammer threatens you (can they really hurt you?), and what happens when a victim of a scammer is doing illegal money laundering activities without realizing (can they really get in trouble?). Plus, a urhole counter at the end! Can you count how many times we said Urhole during the two parts of the episode??

This week, we're sharing a true story that was sent in by a listener about her experience with an online romance scam. This girl straight up did her homework and didn't fall for the bullshit, and we're gonna tell you exactly how. There's also a twist at the end that will leave you dumbfounded wondering HOW this can be happening! Stay tuned after the story for some important tips for avoiding online dating app scammers.
Part 2 of our interview with Chad Huber, professional catfisher of catfish. If you haven't listened to episode 12, we highly suggest it before listening to this one! We get right back into more ways to spot scammers and hear more of Chad's stories. We also learn how to find someone's IP address without them suspecting anything! If any of you STILL get scammed online after hearing these two episodes, we won't be mad, we'll just be disappointed.
This week's episode covers everything from the porn vs OnlyFans issue (where does the line get drawn?), to your significant other checking out other people, and of course, to catching catfish. Is it weird if a straight girl points out another girl she thinks is pretty to her significant other? Does this then give free range for the significant other to do it as well? We discuss our feelings on when/if this is okay. We've also got a PSA for everyone: BEWARE of the Maskfish! Chanelle will explain more, don't worry! We also dive into step by step instructions on how to reverse search an image. This is one of the first things you should be doing if you think you're being catfished, so listen up! We end with some questions/stories from our listeners and touch on ruining the mood, projecting, and when to ask the age old question: "What are we?"
