I just can't believe people are still getting catfished in 2021
, as you mentioned there's the reverse image trick which is what I've done alot to catch a fake. Some catfish photos even have other sites warning people to avoid this person.
The reverse image isn't always full proof,but there's other ways aswell . Get them to send you a new photo, with them holding a piece of paper with today's date and a unique symbol. Then there's facetime etc. And obviously Don't give out your personal information.
