‘TikTok’s biggest catfish’ Jessy Volk has stunned her followers with photos of her massive make-up transformation and announced that “that just aint me”.
The New York Post reports that;
Make-up whizz Jessy Volk showed a glammed up picture of herself with perfect volume curls and dramatic eye make-up.
In the next frame she cut to herself with her hair scruffily pulled back into a ponytail and no make-up on her face.
And while she certainly looks amazing both with and without make-up, you can hardly tell it’s the same person.
One person said: “Wow that literally isn’t you.” While another agreed: “Girl I jumped out my seat.”
Jessy has a page dedicated to her incredible make-up looks, which are so good that people reckon she looks completely different.
This is the definition of catfishing.
Catfishing refers to when a person takes information and images, typically from other people, and uses them to create a new identity for themselves. In some cases, a catfisher steals another individual’s complete identity—including their image, date of birth, and geographical location—and pretends that it is their own. The catfisher then uses this identity to trick other people into associating with them or doing business online.
In some cases, a single person is targeted for a catfishing attack. In these instances, a catfisher may develop an identity that they feel will appeal to their catfishing target. Catfishing has long been common in online dating forums and websites. Because the catfisher can hide any or all of their true identity without being questioned, people would often fake certain aspects of their profile to lure in their targets. This often includes using a profile picture they stole from someone else to appear more attractive.
The catfish meaning also often includes falsifying professions, locations, and likes and dislikes. When someone only fakes a few or relatively insignificant elements of their identity, it is referred to as kitten fishing.
