I don't understand, you just linked the oxford dictionary giving the same definition... (The link you wrote says US informal with object Lure (someone) into a relationship by adopting a fictional online persona. ‘he was being catfished by a cruel prankster’ ‘a victim of catfishing’" ) That's exactly what the urban dictionary definition says and is the meaning I referred to. Luring a company into a relationship with you based on a false/fictional profile as a programmer is what I would have thought the term would mean.
