Friend catfishing neighbour on Insta - tell him?

[TwinklyBlueEagle]

My friend made a fake account for laughs on Instagram last year using photos of a model from Brazil and she has started using the account to catfish one of our neighbours because she thinks it’s funny. She has made it look very genuine and if I didn’t know it was fake I’d think it was a real account.

I personally think it’s really naughty to deceive someone I know into forming a relationship with a fake woman. I jokily told her she should stop but she didn’t think I meant it. The whole thing doesn’t sit right with me though but if I tell him she’ll think I’m a right backstabber.

You know everyone can see what you originally wrote, right?

PMSL. You're actually hilarious!

Inadvertent absolution 👍🏼

I mean, your original comment was deleted and that is the exact opposite of absolution so... 🤷🏻‍♀️

What a strange thing for her to do. I wouldn’t want friends who are capable of such deception. She needs a new hobby and you need new mates.

‘Funny, naughty, jokey’? These are definitely not the way I’d describe the tone of what your friend is doing.

what your friend is doing is deceptive, manipulative, cruel and absolutely unethical. Your friend is finding it funny to toy with someone’s emotions. It’s not naughty, it’s nasty.

if your friend does not stop after you tell them, it would warrant a complaint to the police, as your neighbour is being victimised.

I’d struggle to be friends with someone who did this. I’d tell ‘friend’ in no uncertain terms that she should stop it or I would do it for her. It’s needless and nasty.

Reminds me of the Bobby Jandu documentary I saw on Netflix recently!! It’s horrific and honestly can play havoc to people lives…

I honestly think the OP is the friend.

What an awful thing for someone to do 🙄
