Catfishing for compliments

When someone lacking in confidence creates a hotter online persona to get attention from the opposite sex.

Social Catfishing

The process in which a social media manager creates multiple fake profiles only to engage with brands in order to boost the brands popularity. Also the practice of a social media manager liking and commenting every status that is written from every brand page he or she is in possession of. See catfishing
If I manage Facebook Pages for Clients A,B,C,D and E, I should have them all talk to each other all hours of the day on Facebook to portray the appearance that my clients have deep relationships with all these brands and endorse everything I say too. It would also be a good idea to have them sell anything I can profit from. It's like catfishing for social media, only it's Social Catfishing.

Coatfishing

Like catfishing, but when a person only has photos of them in a coat on their dating profile, so you wrongfully assume that they are in good shape.
Guy 1: "Bro, I met up with my Tinder date last night and she was coatfishing!!!"
Guy 2: "Sorry to hear that man, you gotta be more careful next time"

Reverse Catfishing

Pretending to be much uglier than you really are online.
Guy 1: So how was your date?
Guy 2: I had doubts about dating that girl because of her ugly photos online, but in person she was gorgeous and seductive. I was a victim of reverse catfishing. I am going to therapy now to deal with it.
