D&L up in Jose and talking for four years. I took a bus 10 hours to meet up and he totally ghosted me. What? This is the last risk I'm gonna take for us. It could be one of the most romantic love stories ever or she could be talking to anyone. Oh, there's a hit for this one. Oh my god. Why is he playing these games? Oh my god.

Oh, we're gonna get you, Jose. From MTV and Wundery, I'm Neve Shulman and this is Catfish, the podcast, where we uncover the truths and lies about love in the digital world and help people find out if someone really is who they say they are. Now our most shocking episodes are adapted for your ears for the very first time. On this episode, D&L and Jose.

Hey, guys. Neve here and Catfish quarantine continues. But now my dad's house in Long Island. Why don't we see if we got some email? Oh, we do. I've already put myself in danger more than once for this guy. Oh, I don't know what that means. I don't know what that means and I'm afraid to find out. Yeah.

Oh, my name is D&L. I've been talking to a guy named Jose that I met while playing video games four years ago. He's everything I want in a guy. Smart, ambitious and really cute. But what I like most is how much he supports me. He even stood by me when my mom unexpectedly passed away. But in four years, we have never video-chatted or met up.

When we started talking, we both lived in different cities in Venezuela. Things are dangerous in Venezuela. And we both have now sought asylum in the U.S. This is like a wild international love story out of a movie. Yeah. I was excited to surprise him when I arrived in the U.S. But when I pushed me up, he told me he wanted nothing to do with me. I was devastated and heartbroken. Then about two months ago, he reached back out to me to read Kindle Things.

But I was too stressed with getting my legal status to deal with him. Now that I'm settled, I realize I still have feelings for Jose. And that's why I'm hoping you'll help me. Looking forward to hearing from you, D&L. Cheers!

Something doesn't feel right. Do you think if you both moved here under similar conditions, which were less than ideal? Even if it's not romantic, you'd think he'd still just want to have a friendship, but he wanted nothing to do with her.

Something's not right with this guy. I think either he was never from Venezuela or maybe he is from Venezuela, but he never came to the U.S. Right. I don't feel good about it. I'd like to just get the story firsthand from the source.

Camille and I got an email from a young woman named Diannella.

She's been in an online relationship with Jose for four years.

They're from different cities in Venezuela, but both moved to the US to escape the unrest in their country.
