That hot couple in your DMs might be one dude in a basement. Adam & Pris revisit catfishing in the swinger lifestyle — and how to spot the fakes.

With 14 years in ethical non-monogamy, Adam & Pris have seen every flavor of catfish: filtered photos, 20-year-old pictures, fake couples, personality catfish, bots, and straight-up scammers (including the infamous $45 nail-money hustle). In this revisited episode, they break down why catfishing is a bigger deal in the swinger lifestyle than in vanilla dating — and exactly how to protect yourself.

In this episode:
- Adam's AOL chat room era and the too-perfect mystery woman who vanished
- Filters and angles: flattering or flat-out lying?
- The "personality catfish" nobody warns you about
- Scammers, photo collectors, and people fishing for nudes
- Red flags on swinger apps: no photos, model-only photos, stories that don't add up, dodging verification, too eager (or always busy)
- Pris's legendary verification trick: paper, today's date, one hour, or blocked
- Why trust, consent, and honesty are the foundation of ethical non-monogamy
- How good communities protect their own — and how to vet before you meet
