In 2010, a documentary about online dating premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and gave a name to type of scammer that was far more common across the internet than anyone had realized: Catfish. The film follows Nev Schulman as he begins an online relationship with "Megan" through Facebook. Along with Schulman, we learn that "Megan" wasn't real, and the actual person—Angela—had been fooling everyone including her husband, Vince. After learning about his wife's antics, Vince compared her to the catfish that would be shipped alongside cod in order to keep the cod active and alert during their passage from Asia to North America. Without the addition of the catfish, the cod arrived in deteriorated shape from inactivity, ultimately effecting the quality of the fish. Add in a catfish though, and the cod would stay on their proverbial toes.
