Retro-catfish

Retrocatfish(ing) is an act in which a person you have met online uses/sends old photos or photos before they went through a noticeable physical change.

This commonly happens on dating websites where people post pictures that are a couple of years old. Maybe a person got a new tattoo a few months ago, but did not update their photos. The most extreme version of this is when someone saves older pictures of themselves to specifically send to people in the present day to make one interested in them; with deceitful intent.

Common example: I was so excited to meet Humberto and touch his curls. It turns out he retro-catfished me and had cut them off a year ago!

Extreme example: I can't believe Justin would send me a daily retro-catfish snapchat from 4 years ago. He did not look the same at all!
