Speaker 1 (00:00):
Robin Terrill Kip on Brisbane's Kiss ninety seven three. So
if you've been following over the last couple of weeks,
it started with a couple of flirty text messages to
Robin out of the blue from a number you didn't know, no.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Saturday night, like just you know, I was with my girlfriends.
I'm like, who is texting me?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Who are you?
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Yep?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
And it seemed like fun at first.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
There was I mean, I thought, well, because he wanted
to catch up and have coffee or a drink somewhere,
and I thought, well, this sounds legit, like this doesn't
that's not the normal catfishing m Well.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Except that he immediately said he was forty seven and
then sent photos where he was clearly under thirty.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, and the abs the ab shot in the first
half hours. It was a bit of an indicat that.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Maybe it was sus yes, but this is this is
where we're at at the moment.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So I've come off all the apps. So it is
with a lot of shock that guy has contacted me
on my phone, texting me like why have you got
my number?
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So we thought the sensible thing to do would be
to give him a call Okay, I'm dying.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I'm dying.
Speaker 5 (01:00):
Pray for you if you'd like to leave the name
and of a holactible thing.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Now, that name, the name that he gave, which we're
able to scramble that voice obviously, so you don't recognize him.
But the name that he gave is not the name
he gave you.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
No, it's not. Then my neighbor Bella DMed me she
had some more tea on this guy.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Have you sent Bella photos Robin of what you got? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Same guy, Yeah, exactly the same, exactly the same.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So we decided to get p I Dave on the
case to.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
That name certainly doesn't exist on any sort of databases
anywhere in the state of Queen's antel. I'm one hundred
percent confident that that's a false name. That is us
think we did some checks on the phone number and
lo and behold, it is registered to a real person living,
let's just say, on the south side of Brisbane.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So what do you do in this situation? Nothing, There's
nothing I can do.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
I suppose you could string him along and see if
he does want to meet for that coffee and you know,
in a public place, you little bit of safety still
along there, see if he turns up and see what
his story is.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
So we thought, let's try and call again and see
if we can work out exactly what this person's So.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
We're fine, I'm ready here, right, let's call hello. What's
that trick? He's deleted his voicemail? Yeah, I think he has.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I think he has one hundred percent.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
So it sounds like he's going to ground.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I mean he's in Brisbane, whoever this person is, so
you would think he's caught wind of the fact that
we're on to him.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Right, So p I David is saying, I can try
and meet him, but we've tried to call and.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
That's not work. I think about the meeting thing.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It makes me very nervous. It makes me really nervous,
even in a public place with you a lot, hiding
in behind chairs or whatever random thing that you'd probably do. Yeah,
I just putting a face and putting yourself into that
situation I think is.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
A bit dumb. Yeah, I think, Well it makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
So the only other course of action that I could
think of to do was to send him a final
text message okay, because he hasn't gotten rid of his phone,
So this isn't a Berna phone. Probably it's probably his phone, yep.
But he's just taken himself. He's taken his message off,
his message back. So potentially if I send a message, yes,
he may get it and then whether he chooses to
(03:18):
reply or not. So my question to you is, and
anyone else thirteen one oh six five, how do I
compose this message to him with? I mean, I'm not
threatening him, and see, in the back of my mind,
the other part of this is that I think, you know,
maybe he's not all there, like maybe there's something not
okay with all this, And I don't want to club
a harp seal.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So what are you thinking the I don't think he's
a harp seal. I don't think we have to worry it,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Like, I don't you know, yes, if this yeah, yeah,
there's a whole lot of scenarios that could be involved
in this, and I want to make sure that we're
still being really kind, but we want to find.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Out what he's doing. Yes, I do what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
And if this is just a fun game, I want
to expose that people's emotions are not fun games. So
to stop doing it, So this is what I've got
so far, and then just ad or distract and I
literally will send this by the time we finished talking.
I've said morning James, because that's the name he told me,
which we now know is fake, or Beep, the other
name that we think his name is, or whoever you are.
(04:13):
I know you've taken your voicemail off, so I can't
leave a message, but I'm guessing you have heard that
we are trying to work out on the radio in
brackets who you are and why you catfished me. If
you could please just reply, then we can all get
on with our lives. But I'm thinking I need to
be more specific than that, don't you reckon?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Like let him know that he can just sort of yah,
we'll drop it. We'll drop it if he could just
just what do I want to know?
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So rather than say if you could, if you could
please just reply, maybe I should say with how you
know me? How you get my name?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Do you get my number?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Because that's freaked you out? That's probably freaked you out
the most, right, Yes, how do you get my number?
And why?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
And why yes? And what you're actually what were you
trying to achieve?
Speaker 2 (04:57):

do to do?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah? Yeap okay, and then and then full job and
then when I then we can all get.

Speaker 3 (05:20):

Speaker 2 (05:21):
It sounds like I've done the wrong thing. S tiltered
love that. I I mean, do.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
We need to put some emojis in? Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
What emoji?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Would you? What about the Spanish dancing lady?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Why put the Spanish?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
No one ever knows, No one ever knows why she's
in there. This is such a serious text.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Okay, twenty we know he's a twenty seven year old.
Emojis actually have context.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Okay, cut the Spanish dancing lady. So at least you
didn't say the.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Or what's the egg?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Three foods in an egg?
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Plan?
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Wrap it up? All right, I'm gonna help. I'm going
to keep thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
It will go.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
I'm in a san No, not yet, and at thirteen
one six five's our number. If you think there's anything
we need to add.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Adam Lamb, but it's Rob Terary kip on kiss ninety
seven three appropriate question, what do you want from me?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
That's what do you want from me?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
That's what we're asking the catfisher who's been contacted Robin
over the last couple of weeks. But we know he's
a liar, but now we're just trying to find out
what actually he's about.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
What's he doing, why contact you? And how did he
get your number?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Because the thing is that if he'd come back straight
away he said, look, I'm just a young guy and
I prefer older women. That's weird, but you know, like
I mean, it's not some people do. But you know,
if he'd been upfront about it, but lying off the
get go and then just like now going to ground
and it's not cool, man.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Fake names, different photos.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
And also my neighbor, we haven't actually got to the
bottom of how he got in touch with her. She
literally lives on the same street at the other end, yes,
and you know, similar age to me. And she has
confirmed that the photos that I received are also the
photos that she received.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
It was a theory yesterday that perhaps it was somebody
working doing services in the street that might have been
able to that. That's how they got both of your numbers. Yeah,
which sort of sounds reasonable.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
And legally he's more protected at this moment in time
than I am in terms of you know, like I
can't tell you the suburb he lives in. I can't
tell you the name that we think it is. Colleen
of Coopero, What do you reckon? I'm trying to send
this text message is one last chance?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Do you want to read it one more time? What's
the text?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Man?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Okay, good morning James or question Mark or whoever you are.
I know you've taken your voicemail off so I can't
leave a message, but I'm guessing you have heard that
we are trying to work out on radio who you
are and why you catfish me. If you could please
just reply with how you got my number and what
you were trying to do here, and then we can
all get on with our lives.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Great, Colleen, what do you reckon?
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Web that's going to see this ego, it's going to
think that it's so good and he's going to have
a comeback, and then he'll change the number. It will
just go on. You are in the public car you
are very gorgeous, and you're innocent that dating games ruth.
And he's a scammer. He's just a scammer. And I
(08:10):
just think you don't have to let it go because
you've got your friends in the radio to chat to.
That he's going to come back with something and then
it's going to feed on. That's the only thing I think.
I don't think you're going to get an answer.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
But do you think then even if he replies, then
we've at least got engagement, and I can like we
do have. I mean, the half of me is going
I don't want to like, I want to treat people
with respect. So if this guy's just done this as
he thought it was a bit of a game, then
there's a lesson to be learned about don't treat people's
emotions so flippantly. But if he is some actual scary dude,
(08:44):
then that's when we've got the Pi Pi Dave in
our back pocket. I just I guess I just want
to try one last time.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Well, then is that really what you want to do.
I don't know that I'm really scary. I don't, okay,
I mean no, I don't. I don't feel it the
dating game is ruthless, and it's hard. It's colorous, that's unfeeling.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, it's brutal mate.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
I agree with you. Thank you God. Lead Now Natasha
out of Broke Park's got a thought on this as well.
Hey Natasha, Hey, Hey Robin.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Hey guys, I look at it this way. You're a celebrity.
I know a celebrity. I'm not going to name who
he is, and I've known him since I was a
young kid. But anyone that anytime you'd be out having
lunch or whatever, anyone would want a piece of him.
So maybe this guy just wants to take a little
bit of who you are and get the limelight. I
(09:36):
think it's a recipe for disaster.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Okay, So I'm just feeding his ego, is what you're saying,
finger and not And he could.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Be a stalker, like this guy could be getting off
and could actually potentially hurt you.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Okay, now you're scaring me.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
So what do I do?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Do you want me to send this all that produces
whether I get the thumb up? It comes down.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Leave off the Spanish ladies. I've taken a I've changed
my mind on the emojis.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Okay, So no, emojis.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
No emojis, because it's serious. It could be serious. Yes,
I want you to see less fun now I've decided,
and yeah I reckon.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Yeah, let's let's do it, send it, and then if
we don't get a response, then then we'll maybe take
next steps.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Okay, on your marks, get set go, it's gone.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
It's improving.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
