Gift Catfishing is when someone tells you they are want to purchase something for you, but then they don’t.
Josh was gift catfishing yesterday when he said would get me that sweater, however, when I asked when it was shipping he said he changed his mind.

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.

Retrocatfish(ing) is an act in which a person you have met online uses/sends old photos or photos before they went through a noticeable physical change.
This commonly happens on dating websites where people post pictures that are a couple of years old. Maybe a person got a new tattoo a few months ago, but did not update their photos. The most extreme version of this is when someone saves older pictures of themselves to specifically send to people in the present day to make one interested in them; with deceitful intent.

Common example: I was so excited to meet Humberto and touch his curls. It turns out he retro-catfished me and had cut them off a year ago!
Extreme example: I can't believe Justin would send me a daily retro-catfish snapchat from 4 years ago. He did not look the same at all!
