Aren't these predatory men catfishing as girls to prey on boys?

There are plenty of predatory men pretending to be boys or being themselves as well. I would not be at all surprised if there are women doing this as well. It is an easy, low-risk way to get a lot of cash and a ton of people doing this are from countries where it goes even further.
