Catch The Catfish
About
After her own experience of Catfishing from 2015-2016, Anna needed to turn the negative experience which had impacted her life, into a positive one. Knowledge is power, so she delved into understanding the emotional manipulations she had faced and sought to assist others who had undergone similar situations. She founded Catch The Catfish to do this.
Very quickly, hundreds of victims were contacting her with very many different experiences on the Romance Fraud spectrum.
Catch The Catfish quickly grew into an education and awareness organisation, alongside the victim support already offered.
Now 6 years later in 2023, Anna joined forces with Cecilie Fjellhoy of Tinder Swindler fame to expand on this victim focussed organisation and LoveSaid was founded. LoveSaid reaches surrounding stakeholders of Romance Fraud such as law enforcement, financial institutions and other anti fraud advocates. Our aim is be a one stop organisation to Prevent, Support and Empower victims through advising, training and having uncomfortable conversations to change the narrative around victim blaming.
