The second TwitchCon of the year has just been concluded and fans had a blast in Las Vegas over the past weekend. While the event served as a melting point for fans and creators alike, some fans were in for a rude awakening. The internet witnessed another unfortunate case of catfishing this time with some posing as a fake Twitch streamer.

Meet-and-greet sessions are something all fans look forward to. Such events help viewers form stronger bonds with their favorite content creators while also allowing creators the chance to revel in appreciation in the real world. With streaming being mostly a virtual medium, events like TwitchCon become important for community bonding. A recently surfaced video shows how such conventions can help fans realize their mistakes and take evasive actions.

TheNicoleT fan was handed an unfortunate news

Fake accounts have always been a major issue across the internet. With the rise of social media, this problem only got worse. Many users have fallen victim to fake accounts and catfishing has become a thing that has caused a lot of trouble. One such instance of possible catfishing recently handed a tough lesson to a fan at the Las Vegas TwitchCon.

Like many other creators, Twitch streamer TheNicoleT also held a meet-and-greet session at TwitchCon. The session helped the streamer’s fans to get to know her better and ask the questions she would otherwise not answer on a live stream. During the event, TheNicoleT was approached by a fan who offered her a hug before asking his question.

The fan revealed his username to the streamer and TheNicoleT accepted that it “rang a bell“. Then, the fan showed the chat he was having with an account on X, formerly Twitter, and wanted to know if he had things right. However, the streamer had some unfortunate news for the fan as she told him it wasn’t her account and he might have been catfished.

Understandably, the fan was left with a gaping mouth. The fan later claimed that he didn’t say anything too bad in the conversation. For all we know, that might be the only point of relief for him!
