NEVER CHAT WITH A STRANGER - A novel about the dangers of modern online affairs

Sarah, a complete stranger, contacts Frank-Michael via social media. He makes no secret of the fact that he is married. Sarah quickly steers the conversation in a clearly ambiguous direction and then begs for money. How would you react?

Young women today feel empowered to use their smartphones to use complete strangers all over the world for their own ends. Once the victim on the other end of the line is emotionally captured, the money quickly flows. But nobody can know whether the woman is really lying on her bed or is just doing her weekly shopping at the supermarket. Ultimately, the perfidious business model is called "Sell a fantasy".

Frank-Michael is well aware of this. Originally he just wanted to turn the tables and see how long he could hold Sarah off before she broke off contact in frustration. But the chats between the two quickly became more intense and exciting. What started out as a game to pass the time developed into a hot online affair. Playing with provocative texts, revealing photos and imagination can quickly become dangerous. But who is seducing whom and for what purpose?

This book is a manifesto against online fraud and contains information on help for those affected.
