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.

Adoption Catfishing 

When you don't tell someone they're adopted their entire lives. They submit their DNA to ancestry and people tell them not to that it's fake and doesn't work anyway. And then their DNA comes back not matching their family and you tell them that it must be contaminated or they mixed up the kits.

The adoption catfishing ended at her adoptive mom's funeral. A well-meaning relative told her and now she gets to deal with her grief, the shock of finding out she's adopted and no one to ask questions to.
