Not sure how this woman hasn’t mailed all her money to a Nigerian Prince already.

Interesting podcast and well narrated however I’m tired of these catfish scam stories treating the person catfished as a victim. Obviously someone willing to stay in a twisted relationship like this with someone they never met for years has a lot of psychological and intimacy issues themself....Read full review »

In the midst of all the chaos, the thing that stands out is the genuine desire to want to connect with each individual that interviewed.

Sometimes a father needs to believe his children and simply hug them and tell them everything will be alright. It sounds like this father is constrained by community relations, or should that be “family honour”. Now the police is a service and not a force the change must mean they no longer...Read full review »

Interesting story, but it’s not too hard to understand how this happened — the catfisher is clearly sick, but Kirat also has major issues if she believed all this. Podcast would’ve been better if they had a more neutral stance towards her. I have to agree with the dad that it’s just sad all around.

So glad you picked up this story to out this sort of behaviour as pure cruelty on so many levels. I hope the police still properly investigate this . Stalking and coercion can lead to murder.

This really drew me in until the catfisher was discovered - and did a good job trying to trace that person’s motivations. But the interviewing of Kirat was a little too credulous. She was okay having a serious relationship via zoom calls without video for three years because of some well-placed...Read full review »

For a person to go this long in this relationship is alarming, at best…..downright foolish and unbelievable. She is either the most sheltered woman on earth or already in a very poor mental space. Either way, I hope Kirat has been able to get the mental assistance she obviously needs. I had to...Read full review »

Why is this even a podcast? Am I being pranked? It’s delusional and very head-scratchy how this is even reported as a serious subject.

When I heard the introduction of this case, I really was expecting a truly sophisticated catfish master plan. It wasn’t!! I truly feel bad for Kirat; however, there were too many red flags and signs. For such a “close” community”, she didn’t know or couldn’t find out that Bobby wasn’t actually a...Read full review »

The podcast is very admirably investigated, written, narrated, and produced - Kudos, Alexi and Kirat! (The folks you’ll hear speak the most). The story itself is fascinating and mind-boggling. A downside—to the fault of no one’s own—is that this series didn’t give me the ending I was hoping for....Read full review »

Yes, it is difficult to empathize with the main character, yet this had me hooked. My jaw dropped many, many times.

Well-produced “true crime” podcast with a killer twist.

Ok
This story was OK to have on for background noise. I found it difficult to emphasize with Kirat, as it is to difficult comprehend how someone could be so gullible- the crazy stories and excuses, the long time line… it’s ridiculous, but entertaining. The perpetrator and the victim need to find a...Read full review »

Wow
What an incredible podcast. I applaud Kirat for her strength! She’s amazing.

Why would anyone care about this ridiculously sad, misguided, catfished messy human and her story? I wish her a better future but holy crap. Who cares?
MelissaLovesaMystery via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/23
Devoured this in one journey - unbelievable but makes for a good listen.

Thankful for stories like this being told so people do understand catfishing is real and people get hurt. So many victims are shamed into not telling their experiences. The pace, format, editing, interviews and hosting are all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I never write podcast reviews but I felt compelled to do so after listening to Sweet Bobby. I listened to all 6 episodes within 24 hours and the story is shocking. I went on an emotional rollercoaster. I can only begin to imagine the pain and trauma that Kirat experienced. I felt the gut...Read full review »

But found it really difficult to do so. She ignored so many warning signs. How could she feel so coerced by someone she never even met? She just came across as desperate and whiny. I am not surprised the police did not want to do anything. Maybe things were not explained sufficiently, but I...Read full review »
Unhappy w/ Wondery via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/23
I don’t understand why this run of the mill catfish story became a podcast that I wasted my time listening to. This was not compelling or even interesting. My husband and I both guessed the “catfisher” half through the first episode. The podcast was built around how “shocking” the story was;...Read full review »

I don’t understand how an established company can’t edit out the constant dramatic swallowing, mouth clicks, and sniffling. It’s excruciating to listen to which detracts from what is a compelling and heartbreaking story. Excellent writing and research with the most disappointing listening...Read full review »

This was a carefully crafted and compelling story with some big surprises. I recommend listening to it if you are interested in better understanding cat fishing, how people can be drawn in by scams, and how to protect yourself online.

I was surprised to see mostly negative reviews on this podcast - because I loved it… and I’m picky. The host kept the story tight and interesting. It’s not overly stretched or produced. The storyline is clear and interesting. And it offers insight into emotional abuse issues most people will...Read full review »

The constant bodily noises starting in episode 3 made me have to stop listening by episode 4. I understand the emotions and they are conveyed without me having to hear the saliva swallowing.
