How an NBA star and an aspiring model became victims of a massive catfishing scheme out of Canada – ABC News
As an aspiring model in Southern California with hundreds of thousands of social media followers, Paris Dunn relishes being in the spotlight.But the 23-year-old, whose stage name is Paris Dylan, never imagined that she would get so much attention for being entangled in a mind-bending, elaborate catfishing scheme that would eventually include vicious threats, blackmail, search warrants, an NBA star and an international criminal investigation.Nev Schulman, who helped make catfishing a household term after he made a documentary about his own catfishing experience that he later turned into an MTV series, said Dunn’s story is one of the most complicated, confusing catfish stories Ive ever heard.A catfish is someone who uses internet profiles to interact with people online, usually pretending to be either a version of themselves or someone entirely different, Schulman explained. What [Dunns] catfish was able to accomplish is not only sophisticated, but incredibly manipulative, emotionally very traumatic, and at the same time wildly creative and somewhat impressive.
