Welcome to the third weekly challenge for April, where our theme is Fool Me Once:

April Theme: Fool Me Once

Are they wilfully gulllliblle?

Do they yearn for the world to be a better place or for their impact in the world to be that much more meaningful? Are they sitting there in their own isolation hoping to find love or find someone in need of saving?

Catfishing is a deceptive activity where a person creates a fictional persona or fake identity on a social networking service, usually targeting a specific victim.[1] The practice may be used for financial gain, to compromise a victim in some way, as a way to intentionally upset a victim, or for wish fulfillment.
