Redditors who have been catfished, what's your story?

After a "break-up letter" I wrote to a college football head coach went viral, I started getting a lot of attention via social media. This one woman wrote to me about how she was a fan of the coach as well and that she had insider information on him from her friend who lives in the same college town. The letter was for humor, so I wasn't looking for insider information on him, but I did keep talking to her.

Eventually she talked about her personal life, how she was pregnant but her boyfriend has a stalker so she didn't want anyone to know about her pregnancy. The one time I mentioned her pregnancy publicly, she immediately asked me to remove my comment. She eventually gave birth and began sharing pictures of the baby with me. Something about her pictures, as well as her, seemed off. I did some digging and discovered that her baby pictures were all stolen from the internet, including one from a blog written almost two years ago despite her baby being born recently. When I asked her about it, she pointed out that her boyfriend's stalker must be behind all this! Obviously the stalker was taking her pictures and posting them online. When I brought that the blog that had "her" baby's picture was from two years ago, she said that the stalker clearly made that blog and backdated it. I finally said that I don't believe her and I can no longer speak to someone who would lie to me.

The best part was that she made the mistake of following me with an account that had her real last name and her first initial. After doing some digging, I discovered that she's a late 20-something single woman from Kentucky who doesn't have much of a social life outside of her dog. At least she didn't lie about her age?
