First I printed four posters with different dates and stick around school, because I don’t need to actually do an exhibition right now, so there is no time limit.


I participated in the communication event of my classmate nora, which is a good opportunity for me to hunt. Because many of the participants are international students, my stakeholders. Everyone wrote their majors and topics they were researching that night. I took this opportunity to spread the news about the catfish exhibition, and invited more than 10 people to participate. And add their contact information, name and corresponding major.

I messaged all of them again that night to increase the likelihood of their participation, and less than half of them replied to me.

But in this activity, I communicated as their classmates, so the credibility is very strong. In order to increase the comprehensiveness of the test results, I continued to print out multiple posters to distribute to passers-by outside the school.

This catfish prevention handbook was issued to everyone who was deceived to participate in the exhibition, to raise awareness of catfishing and warning them not to be so easily deceived next time.



As a result, there are 10 people invited from event, and 30 poster given to people walk around kingscross. And 11 people been catfished. 4 of them from Nora’s event, 3 people came from saw the poster in school, 4 of them got poster sent by me. Luckily none of them get mad.
