Ep 52BETH HYLAND INTERVIEW
Author of Diary of a Romance Scam: When Swiping Right Goes Wrong.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.

Jonathan: "The amount she stole was such that if a stranger had stolen it, that person wouldface 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."ALL PICTURES HE SHARED WITH ME ARE ON MY BLOG.

About Michele DefilippoSelf-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: $20.00Less Amazon's 40% cut (aka the wholesale discount): $8Less printing cost: $5Net 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.
