0:00.0	Babe, it's Gem.
0:02.0	Just voice-noting you because I'm so busy.
0:05.0	I can't even type right now.
0:06.8	I'm working on that big presentation for my new launch.
0:10.3	I'm making it on Canva Mobile like you suggested.
0:13.1	And it's making everything iconic.
0:16.6	So it's a bit noisy, babe's mabts is going off.
0:20.3	Anyways, I'm going to ping the presentation to you now so you can see what I mean. Got to go, hon. Thanks for introducing me to Canva. Love you. Hi, everyone. Welcome back. I hope you're all doing well. So today's case, it's about catfishing. And it is a roller coaster. It is so confusing at times. And today's case, um, it's about catfishing and it is a roller coaster. It is so confusing at times.
0:39.9	And today's case takes place back in 2005 when a 45-year-old man called Thomas Montgomery

1:36.3	of course. So he decided that he was going to catfish her. However, what I will say about today's
1:42.1	case is not all is as it seems. Because about halfway through
1:47.8	this case, there is another huge twist. When I found out who she was, I was shocked big time.
