Mark Boner Sent You a Friend Request

What do you get when a writer accepts fake Facebook friend requests? Hilarious interactions that turn the tables on scammers. My name is Kristine Darley-Kline and I am a writer and a film producer whose creative mind was ignited after I got divorced and weaned off medication I'd been taking for anxiety for 25 years (all during the lockdown).

I was largely by myself so I had to come up with some creative ways to deal with my loneliness and one of them was to mess with scammers on social media who sent me fake Facebook and Instagram requests. Three years later, I now have over a dozen hilarious exchanges with these scammers all captured in this book.

Is it really funny? Just check out the titles of the chapters that capture the highlights of each exchange:

Chapter 1: Can I send you a pic of my dic*? Chapter 2: Hi, I'm a dolphin swimming in the ocean taking drugs on a Friday night Chapter 3: Are you drunk again? Chapter 4: If you don't like the song Private Dancer by Tina Turner we cannot be friends Chapter 5: Yes, I totally make juice Chapter 6: Impressing Keannu Charles Reeves by doing a bit of cocaine Chapter 7: This reminds me of high school-you were the wild one, bud Chapter 8: Hi, I'm a harpoonist who fights giant squids in Australia Chapter 9: Who is your daddy and what does he do? Chapter 10: I haven't responded because I was in Honduras sleeping with bears Chapter 11: The last time I saw you, you were drunk, naked and rolling in dog shit Chapter 12: I milk goats for a living and I killed two men Chapter 13: My name is Potato and I live at the North Pole with dinosaurs
