Catfishers, scammers, and stalkers are prevalent problems that lead to unwanted attention, impersonations, theft of content, and fan deception.

She offered some advice for fans and content creators to protect themselves, including verifying the authenticity of creators, being cautious and verifying information on platforms to protect themselves from scams and catfishing, and holding social media companies accountable for not providing adequate protection against scammers and fake accounts and the creation of misleading ads using content creators' images.
