If you're unfamiliar with the term, it means to lure someone into a relationship (or otherwise) with a fake online persona. It's something that happens quite regularly on social media, as Dermot Whelan recently discovered:   View this post on Instagram   I've been catfished! Apparently I sell hash. Who knew?? And clearly I'm not afraid of showing it as I stand on my canabis patch with my pitchfork. #jobsatisfaction A post shared by Dermot Whelan (@dermottodayfm) on Nov 13, 2019 at 1:28am PST As if that wasn't bad enough, he then found a 'Dermot J Whelan' on Facebook, who was again using pictures of the Limerick man mixed with more pictures of weed/marijuana/gange...call it what you will. We weren't quick enough to get a snap of the Facebook imposter's page as it was taken down immediately after being rumbled.
