by Presented by Jordan Erica Webber and produced by D from Technology | The Guardian on (#4C7GP)
Jordan Erica Webber chats to Max Benwell about how he managed to track down the person using his photos to deceive women, and what happened when he got them on the phone
In March 2018, Max Benwell was minding his own business when he received a message from a woman he had never met. She told him someone had been messaging her and had been really abusive. The person messaging her was using Max's photos.
Jordan follows Max's unusual tale. He went to incredible lengths to find the person who had stolen his identity online. She also chats to the woman whose day-to-day job involves figuring out whether people online are the people they say they are, or a catfisher.
