Airport warns about catfishing as people arrive to meet loved ones who don't exist

ST. JOHN'S - The chief executive of an airport in central Newfoundland says staff have noticed an increase in people who appear to have been victims of a manipulative scheme known as catfishing.

Reg Wright with the Gander International Airport says more people have been arriving at the facility to meet someone they've been speaking with online, only to find the person doesn't exist.
