There is this also: Kozma, A. 2017. Shame, Class, and Embodiment in the Catfish Universe. *Television & New Media* (available on-line: *http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1527476417722845 <http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1527476417722845>*, accessed 7 August 2017). I find that it is a common matter of interest for students when they are considering research projects, but in practice getting data is difficult given that the people who catfish are by definition hidden and not likely to reveal themselves.

Dear all,
My daughter is studying law, and is working on "catfishing," that is, the predatory fabrication of online identities to trick others into relationships.
It was a new term for me. Is there any research out there about this?
