Almost 40% of relationships begin online and while there are plenty of success stories, there are also some horror stories. This is one of those stories. In 2019, Mia Freedman interviewed Stephanie Wood, the author of Fake, which is now a hit TV series starring Asher Keddie and David Wenham. This is the true story behind the show.

When Stephanie Wood decided to go on a date with a guy she met online she had no idea it would change the course of her life forever.

Because Stephanie quickly fell in love with a man she barely knew. And who, it turned out, was a massive conman.
