After a few IMs or emails wouldn't you ask for a phone call, a picture, or snapchat or video? If they can't or won't do that, then obviously they are a fake or at the very least a flake.

I'm not proud of this, but back in the days of AOL, I convinced an older girl that I was someone else and we "dated". It went on for months. I think I was 12 and she was 15.
All you have to do is send photos of someone else. Why would a phone call matter? Anyone is capable of pretending to be someone else.
Well, for months on LRC, I believed that there was really a guy named Jamin King. So it does happen.

Hi HardLoper!
It's very easy to fake photos or videos of someone even using snapchat so faking photos is easy. So it's not impossible.

Well if its a guy pretending to be a woman the phone call will confirm, but at the very least I'd say send me a picture of you holding a piece of paper with my name on it, or today's date, etc..
I just think anyone that let's that happen to them is culpable because at some point they WANT to believe that the person is real. So they do not ask the obvious questions.
