For every "Catfish" hopeful who strikes up a meaningful conversation on mainstream social media platforms (Facebook, Myspace, Instagram, Twitter) and dating websites (Plenty of Fish or OkCupid, to name just two), there are a few folks who've met their digital buddies via some truly memorable means of communication.

From a former MTV star's fan forum to a hangout for those who admire mythical beings with fangs, here are five unique places where some unforgettable subjects looked for companionship. Take a look at each, and be sure to catch brand-new episodes of "Catfish" when Nev Schulman and Max Joseph return on Wednesday, July 8 at 10/9c!

A Tila Tequila chat room

Nick and Melissa -- who were honest about their identities -- shared a mutual admiration for the "Shot at Love" star, and thanks to the pint-sized MTV alum, the two struck up a special friendship.

A vampire sex site

Kya began chatting with Alyx on Vampire Freaks, a social-networking site for the gothic-industrial subculture. With the help of the MTV masterminds, Kya learned that Alyx was actually Dani -- whom Max recently caught up with on the "Where Are They Now" special.

A chat line

Second to Carmen deceiving her cousin Antwane because he called her a "fat-ass Kelly Price" was when the sleuths dialed into the risque phone service to get a taste of how A met his crush Tony (who turned out to be his aforementioned family member).

Bow Wow Fan Page

A special FB mention for this one, please. If Keyonnah didn't "LIKE" the rapper, we never would have met the one and only Dee Pimpin.

A psychology chat room

IT professional John thought he was baring his soul to his digital GF Kelsey, but it turns out his online love was actually con artist Adam -- who memorably deemed himself the "King of Catfish." Cue Max putting his hands up, dropping the camera and declaring, "I'm done."
