Florida Man Meets a Catfish Online and His Encounter in Miami Goes Viral

Sonny

A man named Sonny thought he met the woman of his dreams online, but she turned out to be a catfish (defined as "someone pretending to be someone they are not, or someone that is misrepresenting their looks online). She had many pictures that he liked on Instagram, and he even Facetimed with her before traveling to meet her in person for the first time, online to find out that she used filters to make parts of her body look different. This eventually came out later when they meet in person in Miami.

They First Met Online, but She Looks Different in Person

Their relationship was going pretty good, so they wanted to meet in person. So Sonny paid $400 for the woman to fly to Miami to meet him at his apartment.

But when he actually meets her, he realizes that the images she posted on Instagram were heavily filtered and Photoshopped. Because after meeting her in person, Sonny says: "She looked nothing like her social media photos."

The woman starts to get upset and yell, so he recorded the audio of their encounter. In his personal recording, as she argues that her photos are real, he says: "It's not even a debate, it's not the same thing at all."

Sonny felt that the woman acted like a catfish online. He posted a video of his first time meeting with her in Miami, and his video went viral.

Sonny says that while the woman was not ugly, he was still deceived. He believes she was a catfish online. His viral encounter in person with her was in Miami.

This man's story was featured on Dr. Phil's show, on an episode titled, "Social Media vs. Reality: Addicted to Likes?"

7 Minutes of Fame: UK YouTuber Max Fosh Claims He was Richer than Elon Musk

 

Max Fosh talking to people on the street

YouTuber Max Fosh just blipped on the "Who's that?" radar for 7 minutes, as he claims he became richer than Elon Musk for a whopping 7 minutes.

YouTuber Max Fosh who?

YouTuber Max Fosh in the UK created a company and began to sell company stock on a street in the Financial District to passerby strangers (for YouTube views no less). But authorities caught wind of this and claimed this was a form of fraud. Max Fosh found the woman that apparently bought into his company, and according to him, he returned her money to her.  

YouTuber Max Fosh explained that it was very easy to create a company in the UK, as he is explaining in a YouTube video. He simply filled out a form, naming his company Unlimited Money Ltd. He then proceeded to register his company with 10 billion shares, essentially valuing his company at 500 billion pounds, intending to be worth more than Elon Musk.

YouTuber Max Fosh Found One Investor

Max then set up a table and two chairs on a public London street, seeking out investors. He was not having any luck finding any investors, but he didn't give up. Finally, he found one woman to invest into Unlimited Money Ltd. 

He asked her: "Why would you like to invest in this company?"

She responded: "On a whim, I feel like it's meant to be, and I'll get something from it eventually."

He took down her information, and then mailed his documents in, to find out the response he would get.

Later, after authorities received and reviewed his company filing, they sent him a letter informing him that his company is likely fraudulent since his company has no revenue, yet is valued at 500 billion pounds. 

Max Fosh then quickly dissolved his company as fast as humanly possible, admitted to returning his only investor's money, and still claims to be richer than Elon Musk for 7 minutes, even though it's not true.
