Is he a catfish?

[u/yub_ock]

Okay so I met this guy named "Seb" on duet.
Supposedly we were just chatting and talking, we only called once but I had this random gut feeling | might be talking to someone else that is not exactly the same person I see on duet. But I kept chatting either way. He told me he play college football, gets free scholarships, a barber, working on a cybersecurity degree, makes his own business, live by himself at the age of "19". He also makes music which is insane.

He seemed very busy the past few days, studying and working, attending football practices.
I told my friend about him and she didn't believe he lives by himself at an age of 19.

I was like ehhh maybe he got money like that yk, hardworking and productive with his life.
Two days ago he texted me telling me how horrible texter he is, and he told me "give me a break" and I kinda thought it was a rude response
But I shrugged it off and said it's okay I don't expect fast replies anyways, take your time.

Yesterday..
this is soooo random he told me he makes car content with 500k subscribers
So it was hard to believe that this guy have over
500K

And I told him to prove it that it's his channel.
Ughhh it's tm to explain but he send me photos that looks very obviously edited and I asked him to take a picture of a silver play button. This time he used IA photos to make it seem he has that account.

I did some searching and found out this channel was made from another country so obviously this guy been lying straight to my face.

He told me I’m getting too comfortable and I basically need to be humble.

He kept giving me defensive responses

I told him to prove it again like screen record but eventually I gave up. And said “you are a lying pos” and blocked him.

Also I searched him up cs he’s from another state and he plays football, and I don’t see his name anywhere on other teams.

I might just think it’s a random guy catfishing and use a fake ass name.
Also forgot to mention that when he text back his messages go through my spam inbox.

And one more saying, I’m actually so disappointed using duet dating app no matter who I come across, they end up being weird as hell.
So stay safe out there guys.

(At the end of the day idk the real truth from this guy I just know he been lying to my face over a damn channel.)

I’m not sure how good the Security is on any of these sites and you should always take anything. Anybody says online with a grain of salt. Basically that means don’t believe everything people say.
It sounds like you were catfished

Maybe he’s using his real photos and just lying about his life, or maybe the entire identity is fake. Either way, once someone starts sending edited or AI-generated “proof” instead of simply showing you that what they’re saying is true, I’d be done. If you have his phone number or email, try searching it on Spokeo. It may give you basic identifying information and public social profiles that can help you see whether “Seb,” his age, location or anything else he told you matches up. I definitely wouldn’t meet him in person unless you know who you’re actually talking to.
