OnlyFans — Catfish Risk Profile
OnlyFans is an adult platform where the dominant catfish pattern is a creator persona impersonated off-platform to solicit direct payment outside the real creator’s account. The real creator’s verified account is itself the reference point — an "official" contact reaching out from anywhere else (a DM on another platform, a personal email) is the pattern, not the exception.
