How many people believe they've been catfished

Ok, there are all kinds out here. Some sincere, some pretty sketchy. There are some folks that really seem to be all about helping out with this game. And, for the most part, they do a good job of it. Probably the primary focus of this forum I would imagine. To market and manage the product.
However, their are people that say the most ridiculous stuff. There is this one guy that tried to convince everyone he was an ex-triple A baseball player. And, TBH, that's not hard to believe. I'm sure this game appeals to ex-baseball players in general..by and large.
It's just this guy's entire narrative was so off. The main reason is he was so deadest on trying to make people believe he was. Just promoted his story way to hard. Those are the type that, typically, aren't.
Catfish always have an agenda. They'll go so far as to drag in fake pix and bogus identities, web-links, etc. thinking you can't possibly disprove such things.
Normally to establish credentials that should make them and expert on a relevant subject, or to build a relationship (those are the ones you really need to be careful of because it's typically not your better good they are concerned with).
So you younger kids, and even older kids. Be careful. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it might be a catfish.

I get what you're saying, and it's of course prevalent. But then again if someone wants to say they're a former AAA player, good for them. I could care less either way. If it doesn't effect me negatively I don't really care about any of that.

Why so worried about being catfished? Looking for a date on the MLB The Show forums?

Do? Nadda.
This was just an observation. Don't play the game anymore so I really don't have anything to say about that I haven't already. But, don't sweat it, I will come up with more material.
Just want all the lil Show Shavers to be careful..there are some bad folks out here.

So he’s quit the Show for the thousandth time. I’ve seen smokers do a better job at quitting than the OP.

But don't you think ppl that catfish are pretty despicable? I mean, has to be a lot of self-loathing going on there. Doesn't effect me negatively 'cause some of us see through it. I might have been born at night, just not last night. You can quote that one there.
It's probably really sad to be a failure at cat-fishing though. That's when you realize that, [censored], I can't be good at being fake. I can't be good at being me, what's left?

Quit the Show. What does that mean to you personally?

lol, he's mad because he made fun of mental health issues. I called him out on it. He asked me why I'm an expert. I shared my credentials with him. He called me a liar. I PM'd him my bio (same name, same story I told him on the forums). Now he's upset that he was shown up. Perhaps he came on the forums to make fun of mental health issues because he has many of his own, and he's doing his best to cover up the issues he struggles with.
He also claims to work in "public publishing", per the PM he sent me. Judging his writing skills, as I would others (I'm a High School writing teacher by day), I'd say perhaps he is the real catfish.
Ignore him, his ego is really bruised today.

Exactly what is the point of claiming to be an ex-AAA baseball player or whatever on a video game forum? I think we'll all agree that the skills required to be good at this game have very little correlation with the skills required to be good at the real thing, so even if they're telling the truth what possible relevance could it have?
I'm not sure if I should be feeling sorry for the person because they're so desperate for positive attention that they seek it by lying to strangers on the internet, or just dismissing them as a moron because they're stupid enough to think their claim somehow gives them credibility that would cause any of us to take their opinions more seriously.
