Getting catfished is a common occurrence among 90 Day Fiancé stars, but some cast members seemed as though they were getting catfished, when they were actually speaking to a real person. Because 90 Day Fiancé focuses on international relationships, many of the relationships on the show begin online. When speaking to someone on an app or a website, it's easy to pretend to be someone you're not. In many cases, people even upload photos of someone else to pass off as their own. This practice of faking another identity on the Internet is called catfishing.
The most famous case of catfishing on 90 Day Fiancé involved Yolanda Leak on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 4. Yolanda started an online romance with a man named «Williams,» who claimed to live in England. However, there were many clues that Williams was not who he said he was. Eventually, Yolanda realized he was a scammer, and the two stopped talking entirely. Luckily, she did not go to England to visit him as she had planned. The actual identity of «Williams» was never revealed.
