Multiple individuals on social media have reported being victims of catfishing while planning to attend the Devcon conference in Thailand. One user shared that after two months of chatting with someone they believed to be a woman, they discovered the person was actually a man from London. Another user, who had been in contact for over three years, encountered a similar situation, revealing that the person they were communicating with was also a man. A third report mentioned a user who thought they were conversing with a woman but found out it was a girl instead. Additionally, another user claimed to have been deceived by an AI bot while planning the trip. These incidents highlight the ongoing risks of online interactions, particularly in the cryptocurrency community, where such experiences are becoming increasingly common.
