Make catfishing a specific criminal offence under coercive control laws

I believe people need to be held accountable for the financial damage, trauma and mental damage they can cause by lying about their identity to get something they want. The lies can be so calculated that a person may be able to use the victim’s emotions to coerce them into giving them whatever they want.

This can leave the victim not only with financial debt, but it can also take years to heal from emotional abuse and coercive behaviour. It can leave so much emotional damage that I believe it should be a criminal offence and punishable under the same laws as coercive control.
