Sometimes, to win, you have to accept that the score was One Hundred to Zero... and then decide to change.
Based on a true story of a Romance Scam told to me by a friend, I wrote a book to explain the mechanisms of emotional manipulation.
«Don't you remember when I told you that you can ask me about my private life because you are important to me and you deserve to know everything? I told you, honey».
On paper, it was a dream. On the other side of the screen was the Idol, an international star of Asian cinema, with a life defined by private jets, fashion weeks, and spotlights. In reality, hidden behind that keyboard, was Stanley: a digital predator with an endless demand for money, a ghost operating from Nigeria.
He would say: 'I will never lie to you again.' He would beg: 'Help me with the top-up.'
In this investigative book, a true story is told without filters. A descent into hell guided by the most aggressive Love Bombing-a flood of attention, promises, and obsessive pet names calculated to override the victim's rationality and make her emotionally dependent. A global deception fueled by gift card codes and an invisible criminal network.
But this is not just the diary of an emotional scam; it is the chronicle of a logical and judicial regaining.
When the defense mechanism breaks down, the victim's mind-accustomed to verification, evidence, and the rigor of the law-stops reading messages with the heart and begins to dissect them with the coldness of a preliminary investigation. Through the analysis of time zones, digital gaps, and social media inconsistencies, the veil is torn apart, revealing the complex criminal structure of the Yahoo Boys and their standardized psychological scripts.
Cento a Zero is a raw, authentic text of fundamental public utility. A guide to recognizing the signs of gaslighting and digital manipulation, dedicated to all women, so that no one ever has to feel alone in front of the darkness of a screen.
