You Have a Very Soft Voice, Susan

A Shocking True Story of Internet Stalking

De: Susan Fensten, Brian Whitney

Narrado por: Linda Jones

A firsthand look at a notorious Internet stalking campaign that the FBI described as a case "in a category by itself"—in the words of the victim herself.

After her father died in 2003, Susan Fensten turned to a genealogy message board to search for surviving relatives. Days later, she was delighted to receive an email from someone claiming to be a distant cousin. In fact, Susan had just been ensnared by a relentless sociopath.

She soon became the target of an elaborate cyber-hoax involving dozens of frightening characters, including known sex offenders, who made threats of kidnapping, murder, rape, torture, and cannibalism. Remarkable in its complexity, this story of Internet stalking is also a harrowing tale of courage in the face of madness.

This is a story about the search for family, the Internet Age, and a journey into the underbelly of American crime. Beyond raising questions about safety online, it forces us to question our perceptions of reality.

Contains mature themes.

Riveting REAL story

Pulled me in from the start.
The story was well told & kept my interest the entire time.

The very beginning was good ...

I'm sure this IS a true story and I'm sure that the author, Susan Fensten suffered and had much to deal with. However, it seems as though this is actually fiction. For a woman who thought of herself as "tough" from growing up in NYC. A grown woman who had a successful career working for a publishing company and learned life's lesson's, the hard and sad way . . . it's hard to believe she was so naïve with newfound relatives on her dad's side of the family. That this cousin(s) totally played her and concocted such an outlandish story. That she did no checking w/ these people to verify they were who they said they were, to believe complete strangers were her family. They took over her life, without ever meeting face to face . . . It's just too ridiculous to not be totally frustrated listening that I couldn't continue.
