silverwizard@hypolite I have been sick for days and missed this!
Catfishing is a separate type of scam than phishing. Both are deception based scams, but is generally about stealing credentials and another is generally directly stealing money. The joke was just taking cat fishing and acting like it was a subset of phishing due to the similarities and then giving it a confusing name. The smishing and vishing.
