A woman somehow managed to blag for four years that she was in a relationship with a man she'd never met.
Take that in: four whole years.
Jill Sharp followed Graham McQuet on social media, and sporadically nicked his pictures and Photoshopped her own face over that of his fiancée, Marianne Stirling.

One of the Photoshopped images.
One of the weirdest parts of the story is that she would travel to the same places as the couple and pose for photos, so it looked like her and Graham had travelled together.
According to The Daily Record, she told her mates that she was engaged to him. She made him a fake Twitter account and sent messages between herself and her fake boyfriend to legitimise the relationship.

Apparently she works in mental health and lives with her parents in Airdrie, Scotland.
Does anyone else feel a little bit sorry for her?
Her friends became suspicious and managed to track down the real couple and warn them about how their pictures were being used.

A friend of hers told the newspaper: "Her posts were all champagne and flowers and how wonderful a life she was living with Graham.
"Whenever anyone asked when we were getting to meet him there was always an excuse. He was working, he'd hurt himself, he was ill - and on it went.

"She was leading this incredible life on social media but no one had seen her with him and it was just plain strange."

Another friend said: "She put up a picture claiming they were having a weekend away in London but the two images were completely different. It was obvious it had been taken on a different day.
"What we didn't know then was the real Graham and his real-life fiancée had been in London and Jill had then retraced their footsteps a month or so later to take the picture. It was totally creepy.

"So we started looking at her other images and it was evident in some of them they had been photoshopped."
Graham didn't realise anything was going on at all, but has since informed the police and they've launched an investigation.
Sharp denies the allegations.
However, the Internet hasn't been forgiving. In fact, since the allegations have come to light there's been a little bit of piss taking going on.
For example, do you remember this recent tweet from a girl named Jessica Hunt?
Someone has taken a picture from her social media and edited only the face, presumably to be used elsewhere.
Even after a double take, it's hard to spot it has been doctored.
This is the real Jessica Hunt.

"OH MY GOD," She wrote on Twitter. "That is my body and my house but who's face is that!?!? Catfish game is getting silly."
Someone's even taken Jill and Jessica's stories and put them together in a viral mash up for the ages.
Absolutely brilliant.
And someone else decided to submit their own Photoshopped image which isn't quite so believable...
As funny as this may seem, we always have to remember that we don't know what's going on in someone else's life.
Hopefully she gets the help she needs.
Plus, how many of us had fake MSN accounts when they were younger?!
Wait... was that just me? Yikes!
