Am I being Catfished?? Why are they doing this??
Manage episode 352272323 series 2855038
We recently had someone messages saying that they felt their business was being quote unquote “Catfished”, no I was definitely familiar with the term specially since there was a reality TV show out with a similar name. It was more about the pretense of people falsely claiming they were someone they were not on dating apps. But I did get me thinking, have I actually been catfish as well in the past and the truth is yes!!
Cat fishing is nothing more than someone trying to prank your business and your reputation by writing bad things about you. We’ve all been there whether it’s been that restaurant on yelp or a bad review on Google, we’ve all had to deal with people that have said less flattering things about us and if you haven’t, give it time.
I know it’s hard to believe but there are some extremely envious people out there that can’t get past someone else succeeding even letting it consume them seeing them as the ultimate competition and that they are out to put someone out of business. It’s an extremely unfair way, and almost all cases can result in a civil litigation and even in some areas a criminal issue.
Writing something about another person that is known to be faults for your own benefit is its own version of committing fraud, and even though like I said above most likely you can’t be prosecuted for it, you can’t be responsible in court in a civil manor. In this podcast they discuss ways to not only fish that person out, but to try and resolve it peacefully without it leading to further damage.
