Shipping/Customs Fee Request on Match
A courier or customs narrative introduces a specific, time-limited fee needed to release an unsolicited gift. On Match, where the dominant catfish pattern is older-skewing user base targeted with military-deployment and widower personas, this tactic is a common companion to that pattern. Match has no native video-call feature, so testing for this tactic usually means proposing a call on a separate app instead.
