'A Bulgarian Stranger Was Catfished With My Photos' // with Donna McAteer
Donna was at work in Glasgow one summer’s day in 2014, when she decided to look at her ‘Message Requests’ folder on Facebook. What happened next sent her in to a wee bit of a spiral.
She had a long, long list of messages from a man in Bulgaria, explaining that he had been deceived into sending cash and expensive gifts to a Bulgarian woman, who had been using Donna’s photos. Heartbroken and distraught, his romantic dreams had collapsed when he realised he had been Catfished.
This was a lot for Donna to take in, and she was understandably shocked to her core. Especially when she saw photos of herself on a mug, in this Bulgarian stranger’s home.
In this episode, Donna tells me this story in detail, including the shock of finding out this information…
We call the Bulgarian guy LIVE on mic…
And we reflect on the human impact, and the fact that behind every screen, is a person. There’s catharsis, life-lessons, reflections on personal responsibility, and a lot of laughs.
