MESSAGING
Blocking Without Losing Evidence on WhatsApp
Preserve the conversation before cutting contact, not after. On WhatsApp, where the dominant catfish pattern is non-fixed VoIP numbers used to route the conversation off the original dating platform, this applies directly: Blocking immediately can delete the message history you'd need if you later want to report the account or the incident.
Steps
- 01
Screenshot the full conversation, including usernames and profile details.
- 02
Save any photos, payment requests, or claims separately.
- 03
Block and report only after evidence is preserved.
