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

  1. 01

    Screenshot the full conversation, including usernames and profile details.

  2. 02

    Save any photos, payment requests, or claims separately.

  3. 03

    Block and report only after evidence is preserved.
