Sociopaths are a threat to your emotions, your mental health, your finances and even your life. The goal of the main Lovefraud.com website is to teach you how to recognize and avoid sociopaths.

Why? Because if you ever get tangled in a sociopath’s web of deceit, you’re on your own.

Your friends and family won’t understand. If you go to counseling with this character, the therapist will probably be snowed. Banks and credit card companies won’t care that you’ve been defrauded. Sociopaths routinely manipulate the judicial system. And law enforcement authorities won’t take any real action unless you’re dead—and then it’s a little late.

Why does this happen? Because people don’t realize sociopaths exist—and how destructive they are.

The goal of the Lovefraud Blog is to address this incredible blindness to the evil of sociopaths. The media don’t get it. Many mental health professionals don’t understand the disorder well enough to spot it when it’s sitting in front of them. And judges issue restraining orders and judgments—as if a sociopath will obey them.

Who am I to say this? I’m Donna Andersen, and I’ve been there. A man who I believe is a sociopath took US$227,000 from me—and similar amounts from at least four other women that I know of. It added up to more than US$1 million. The saga involves theft, fraud, bigamy—and the “system” was powerless to do anything about it.

Every week since I launched Lovefraud.com in July 2005, I’ve received e-mails from people telling me their stories of deception. Some of them are so tragic that I feel like I got off easy. The sociopathic pattern repeats over and over.

It’s time to wake up to the danger. Lovefraud.com gives you the facts. The Lovefraud Blog gives you the rant.

I’ll be posting an article every Sunday. I welcome your comments. And please tell your friends to read Lovefraud.com and the Lovefraud Blog. You may just save someone from becoming a target.
