Here's the article, but what I really wanted to talk about were the comments:

Just wondering: do GUYS ever get catfished? Serious questions; all I ever hear is that it's women that are the victims. Must be a few men that get caught, no? Kat wrote:
Maybe don't report it? Allie wrote:
West Africa is the place where catfishing started & proliferated into big business (Nigeria, Ghana) & although catfishing does occur in other countries, Nigerian male catfishing operations have mastered the romance scam to an art - for the past 20 yrs. It is on a scale way beyond what a few individual women can achieve.
It's literally impossible for a man to get scammed out of money by a woman, because all men understand the transactional nature of relationships. The whole reason we make money in the first place is so we can afford a woman! They're expensive, and paying for them doesn't necessarily mean you'll get them. It's always a gamble. When we buy something for a woman, we know that her response could range from genuine affection, to feigned affection, to indifference, to a metaphorical kick in the balls. (There's even a small - but not insignificant - number of men who get off on the latter.)
Let's say a woman did manage to extract money from a man through explicit false promises of romance. How do you even report that? There's nothing in the penal code about being a lying whore, and if there were we wouldn't have the manpower to enforce it. A victimized man is more likely to be accused of soliciting prostitution than he is to ever see justice in this society.
I ain't even mad, just tellin' it like it is.
