One of just many people who are tricked by everyday online dating, but different in the sense that this story made national news. Phishing, also referred to as brand spoofing or carding, is a variation on "fishing," the idea being that bait is thrown out with the hopes that while most will ignore the bait, some will be tempt into the fraud identity. Not many good things can possibly come out of Phishing. I mean, people that could be classified as social outcasts' may find social matches online behind false identity, but some people who are completely honest in the biographies describing themselves and do not advertise false pictures could actually find someone they like. Extensive research proved that 24% of people in the U.S. are currently in a committed relationship that started online. Notre Dame star and now future NFL first round prospect Manti Te'o has a whole relationship online with a woman who was not real. This is one of the many negative possibilities from online dating and not knowing who the person on the other side of the computer is.
