MESSAGING

Fake Passport Processing Fee Reports on Telegram

Targets a match with a promised in-person meeting, delayed by a claimed passport or travel-document issue requiring a fee. On Telegram, where the dominant catfish pattern is disposable numbers and anonymous usernames used once a target is moved off a dating app, this playbook is a realistic fit. Profiles on Telegram require an account or a match to view, which limits what you can check before engaging directly.

Counter-Move

Note that passport and visa processing fees are paid directly to the issuing government, never a third party, and check that government's own official fee schedule to confirm.
