Kathy Waters and Colonel Bryan Denny (Ret.) co-founded the advocacy organization in 2020. Bryan is a victim of online identity theft, with his photos misused extensively on social media, causing emotional and financial harm to many, including Kathy Waters’ mother’s friend. Kathy contacted Bryan to confirm the scam, and they collaborated to raise awareness among users, congressional departments, and other government agencies. With the support of their Board of Directors, they’ve been dedicated to this cause ever since.

We’re diving deep into the infamous Google Girls who showed up on that wild Clapper live with Louis — yes, that one.

In this episode, we:

• Expose what really went down during the live
• Analyze the tactics, the red flags, and the performances
• Connect the dots to a much bigger web of scam culture
• Talk shady behavior, fake identities, manipulation games, and digital hustle tricks you NEED to watch out for.
• This isn’t just tea — it’s a full-on scam survival guide.

Stay sharp. Trust no one. Let’s talk about it.

When Beth Hyland swiped right, she thought she had found love. Instead, she found herself ensnared in a sophisticated web of deception—one that would not only shake her trust but threaten her financial and emotional well-being. Diary of a Romance Scam is a raw, courageous, and eye-opening account of how expertly trained criminals manipulate, groom, and exploit victims in ways that mirror the coercive control seen in domestic abuse.

This is not just a story of loss but one of survival, resilience, and transformation. As Beth bravely unpacks the intricate psychological tactics used against her, she also shines a light on the devastating stigma that keeps so many victims silent. Society must understand that these scams are not simply about “giving money to strangers”—they are calculated, deeply personal betrayals that thrive in the shadows of shame and victim-blaming. To break the cycle, we must listen to survivors like Beth, amplify their voices, and demand systemic change.

Beth’s journey from victim to advocate is a testament to the strength that can emerge from even the darkest experiences. Her story is not only a warning—it’s an essential educational tool that exposes the brutal reality of romance fraud and urges us all to take it seriously. This book is a powerful call to action, challenging us to replace judgment with empathy and ignorance with awareness.

face up to 10 years in prison.  The Baltimore Police Report number is # 1-16-09-13524. It is labeled as a “dispute” only because she is my wife; in fact, there was no “dispute” since I discovered the theft only after she was gone (but before her plane was to take off). I was able to get into the apartment because I had told the woman at the front desk to send a locksmith before driving my wife to the airport."

Self-publishing means the AUTHOR is the publisher, but you'd never know that from browsing the internet. Most authors believe a publisher is necessary, that they must sign away their rights, creative control, and revenues to offer their books to the public. This is not the case!

1106 Design's mission is to help authors publish books without sharing a penny of their net revenue* from sales with a publisher. We provide self-publishing peace with quality services, reliable publishing advice, and the convenience of project management at every stage. Since 2001, we have helped more than 4,000 authors Publish Like the Pros.

*Sample net revenue calculation:

Retail price of the book: $20.00

Less Amazon's 40% cut (aka the wholesale discount): $8

Less printing cost: $5

Net revenue to indie authors: $7

"Publishers" pay authors a much smaller sum. We've seen figures as low as $.90 per book AFTER the publisher charged the author for book prep. If you think we're a good fit, we'd like to tell your audience how to Publish Like the Pros instead.

clients don't have the same horror stories as other people I talk to do because

I bake safety into their dating training. A year ago in the same 24 hour period

I heard from two friends that their children had just experienced horrific

sexual assault... gang rape on a young gay man naively picking up someone for a

1st date on tinder and the rape of my friend's daughter hosting a dinner on a

second date while my friend was in the house. In both of these instances when I

heard the circumstances I KNEW that these horrible assaults could have been

prevented if these young people had only had the skills and tools I teach to

date safely online. From there I created Swipe Safely, the first course aimed

at increasing internet dating safety. It is now my mission to make people safer

dating online."
