Synopsis

You've met someone new. Sometimes the story doesn't quite add up, and you feel a little rushed, but this person is head over heels in love with you. But is it love—or predation? Red Flags of Love Fraud has the answers. Donna Andersen, who is also author of Lovefraud.com, she says these people are sociopaths. No, a sociopath is not always a deranged serial killer—that's media hype. These people are social predators. They like company, and they really like sex, so sociopaths are always on the hunt for a hookup. This book explains how sociopaths target and pursue romantic relationships. The information is based on more than 2,800 cases that Andersen has collected through Lovefraud.com, and on the results of two Internet surveys completed by Lovefraud readers who loved and lived with these human predators. It's a must-read book for anyone who is looking for a partner—and anyone who is mystified by the partner they have.

About this title

About the Author

Donna Andersen is the author of Red Flags of Love Fraud, and the author of Lovefraud.com, a website and blog that teaches people how to recognize and recover from sociopaths. She learned about sociopaths the hard way—by marrying one. In two-and-a-half years, her husband defrauded her of $227,000, cheated on her with at least six women, fathered a child with one of them, and then, 10 days after Andersen left him, married the mother of the child. It was the second time he committed bigamy. She told the whole outrageous story in her first book, Love Fraud: How Marriage to a Sociopath Fulfilled My Spiritual Plan. In 2005, she launched Lovefraud.com to educate the public about this destructive personality disorder. She graduated summa cum laude from the Syracuse University's S. I. Newhouse School of Public Communications in 1978.
