What are your thoughts on catfishing (i.e. someone who makes a fake account of someone on social media, often to lure people into a relationship with a false identity)?

In my experience, catfishing is usually done for the purpose of scamming someone, which is totally evil.

If it's not catfishing to scam people, it's deceptive so it's unethical, but it's not a huge deal. Unless the catfish makes someone fall in love with their false persona; that's pretty bad.
