It is not very surprising that a big franchise like Stranger Things has millions of followers around the world. The Netflix-exclusive series raked billions of dollars in streaming. In addition, the craze was so high that the makers organized a special screening event for the fans for season 4 volume 2. Imagine the joy when Singaporean fans realized they could have an immersible Upside Down experience with a whole demogorgons’ world created for them. 

While most of the fans might think that there is no bigger fan than them, they are wrong. 

A Billy Hargrove romance gone wrong 

A female film artist in Kentucky decided to join a forum where fellow artists connected and shared their ideas. She dropped a message on the online artist forum and invited fellow creators for a fruitful collaboration. Following this, a man named DK MH posing as the actor who played Billy Hargrove on Stranger Things contacted her. Their relationship blossomed, even though she was suspicious of his identity. As they got closer, the catfisher posing as Dacre Montgomery confessed his relationship problems.

Lo and behold, the Kentucky women’s kindness let her shell out a total of $10000 to help with his money issues. The catfisher then went a step ahead and manipulated her to divorce her husband on the terms of “not letting me be me.” The woman trusted the online friend because her relationship problems were quite similar to his girlfriend controlling his money. A divorce later, the single mom continued to give money to untraceable accounts until the “Romance Scammer” was caught. 

The woman confessed, “I’m obsessed with Stranger Things.” She had a very kind message to others who suffer from low self-esteem and advised them to not fall prey to such scammers. This is not the first time someone fell prey to catfishing. 

Pretending to be the controversial rapper in the Polish country

 A YouTuber in Poland gave the shock of their lives to all Kanye West fans. Not only did the YouTuber lead fans to believe he was the Yeezy owner, but he also fooled the paparazzi. He started off the prank as a means to fool his friends but soon realized he was getting really good at pretending to be Ye. Donning face masks and a smart face coverup; he took the prank a notch higher. 

The driver, bodyguards, and Ye’s usual accompaniments were played by other actors. Taking the media and fans into a frenzy, he had a good run pretending to be the world-famous controversial rapper. Luckily, though, his intentions were in good faith, like a true Ye fan.
