Retired Army Col. Bryan Denny and Kathy Waters: Facebook and Cybercrime

We talk to Retired Army Col. Bryan Denny and Mrs Kathy Waters from AdvocatingForU.com, an Advocacy against Online Romance Scams.

Retired Army Col. Bryan Denny, and Mrs. Kathy Waters run an online anti-romance scam advocacy site focussing on the  issue of Romance Scams within Social Media platforms.

Bryan is an Identity Theft Victim and Kathy’s mother’s friend is a scammed survivor. The two came together to try and seek justice for victims. Since they started this initiative Bryan and Kathy have met with the Pentagon, FBI, FTC, Facebook as well as multiple congressional departments.

Their website aims to help bring awareness of the scams as well as deliver up-to-date information on meetings and legislative work within the United States and globally.
