You've met someone new--someone charming, charismatic and sexy, who has so much in common with you. Oh, 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! Calling all the time! Sending texts and emails! Already talking about forever! Is it love--or predation? Red Flags of Love Fraud - 10 signs you're dating a sociopath, has the answers. The author is Donna Andersen, who is also author of Lovefraud.com. Andersen coined the term "love fraud," and defines it as "the intentional exploitation of an individual through manipulating emotions in a personal relationship." The people who engage in love fraud, she says, are sociopaths. No, a sociopath is not always a deranged serial killer--that's media hype.
