Middletown NJ - Echo News TV LLC announces that its founder, publisher, and editor, Karen Brittingham‑Edmond, has become the target of a coordinated digital fraud scheme involving unauthorized access to her Amazon KDP publishing account, diversion of royalties, and an international attempt to hijack the Echo News TV brand through foreign domain registration.
Mrs. Brittingham‑Edmond is the author of The Bad Dream Part 1 & 2: An American Prophecy, a memoir published on December 11, 2025. Despite the book’s active sales and public listing, she was locked out of her account, told her book “did not exist,” and confronted with a fraudulent fee demand. Amazon later confirmed unauthorized changes to her banking and address information.
In June 2026, an international entity attempted to register multiple Chinese domain names using the Echo News TV brand, claiming to be acting with approval from an agent associated with AMZ Publishing — a company now reported as dissolved after multiple complaints.
Echo News TV LLC remains committed to truth, transparency, and the protection of Black authors, journalists, and storytellers. Miss. Brittingham‑Edmond is pursuing full legal remedies and federal investigation.
Echo News TV LLC will continue serving New Jersey’s Black communities with integrity, courage, and unwavering dedication.
