Con Man's Ex-Wife Turns Heartache into Educating Others

Donna Andersen wasn't always the happily married woman she is today.

She once married a con man, someone she now says she considers to be a sociopath. (Source: lovefraud.com). He took all her money and left her seriously in debt.

The result of that experience, spawned Lovefraud.com, the website Andersen runs today, educating people about the dangers of sociopaths and how to spot them.

I told Andersen my story about the guy I dated from October to December this past year to see if he was a sociopath or what he was.

The other night, Feb. 25, the guy called me again, and told me his so-called pancreatic tumor was shrinking, that he was going to Boston and Colorado with work, though he doesn't work, just got out of jail two nights before and was in for a week. Funny thing was, someone saw him at a meeting during the time he was supposed to be in jail.

He also told me the attorney general went to bat for him in court and that he had "a kick-ass lawyer," one of the best. He also said he did push-ups in jail but I talked to a friend of mine who has been to jail in the past and she said guards really don't encourage that because it's supposed to be hard time in that particular jail. He also told me he almost beat up two guys in jail, one of whom was a lot bigger than him. Supposedly the guy tried to take his food and my ex-boyfriend threatened to kill him. He said one guy at his AA group was scared of him and he liked that, that the meds the doctor was giving him were helping him gain weight, that a water main line in his backyard broke and he had no water and had to fix it, and that his backyard was flooded.

He also reported that he just sold his house to a lien company, paid off his truck, said I needed to make new friends, that he doesn't have to pay any more child support after sitting in jail for a week, said he'd never been to jail before this, that he and his brother had been juvenile delinquents, and that the only person who came to see him was his roommate.

I told Andersen Feb. 27 about the early days of dating this guy and some of the outlandish things he told me right after we started dating.
