Unmasking romance scammers: Kylee Dennis Pt.1

About this episode

Kylee Dennis discusses her experience with romance scams and her career in the NSW Police Force.

On a quiet Sunday afternoon, former NSW Police detective Kylee Dennis got a call from her elderly mum - she’d met a man online. Within hours, Kylee had unravelled a web of lies and realised her mum was caught in a romance scam. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Kylee lifts the lid on the murky, billion‑dollar world of romance scams - how they’re built, who they target, and the shame that keeps victims silent. She also shares her remarkable career in the NSW Police Force, from Marrickville general duties to undercover stings and high‑stakes hostage negotiations.
