The woman hunting down romance scammers
Undercover detective Kylee Dennis is on a mission.
Kylee Dennis remembers exactly where she was when she received a phone call that would change her career path.
It was a summer night in January 2023 when a close friend called.
“I was settling in for the night with a glass of Chardonnay when she phoned and said, ‘You’re not going to believe this, mum has got a boyfriend! She’s secretly ventured onto online dating’.”
The more her friend revealed about the 78-year-old mother’s romance, the more concerned Kylee became.
It turns out that things were getting serious with a man named Donald.
Unable to sleep that night, Kylee called her friend.
“Being a little nosy, I called her to ask her mum about her new love and how it was going.
“She was talking to a businessman based overseas and she’d only seen photos of him, but she was absolutely besotted and fallen for him in only a few months.”
So concerned about her friend’s mother, the very next day she began investigating, taking Kylee back to her roots in the police force.
