In this eye-opening episode of The Romantic Truth Podcast, we dive into the murky waters of catfishing—the digital deception that’s left countless hearts tangled in lies. From fake profiles and stolen photos to emotional manipulation and financial scams, we explore how and why people create false identities online and the devastating impact it has on those they lure in.

Host Jausan Adams breaks down the red flags of a catfish, the psychology behind the act, and the emotional toll it takes on both victims and deceivers. You'll hear candid stories from people who’ve been duped—and from former catfishers themselves—about the motives, guilt, and realizations that eventually brought them to the truth.

Whether you’ve been catfished, suspected someone wasn’t who they claimed to be, or just want to understand this modern dating epidemic, this episode will equip you with the insight to stay grounded, ask the right questions, and protect your heart in a digital world full of illusions.
