Ep. 252 – Catfish Fry

In this personal and intimate conclusion to Double Identity Month, Christopher and Eric turn to you, their beloved Party People. On The Dinner Party Show’s Facebook page, we asked if any of you have been profoundly deceived by an Internet con-artist. Your answers made for some shocking stories in the retelling, igniting an engrossing conversation about the ways in which the anonymity afforded by cyberspace can be used to abuse. Eric shares his own story of dismantling his charming personal Internet catfish through evidence collection and persistence. Your hosts also offer theories on what drives some people to pretend to be someone they’re not. Especially when money doesn’t seem to be the objective.
