Strangers who want to chat privately, sentence 13

And when a stranger told Zara she was «the best player EVER», she said «thanks» and kept chatting only in the game: lots of flattery from a stranger can be a hook to win your trust.

Who acts: stranger, Zara, your · What happens: tell, be, say, keep, chat, win · To what, where: Zara, best player, game, hook, trust · Speech: someone speaks here
