## Resource

A chef turned scammer got a year behind bars for swindling three victims out of $2,600 by posing as a landlord online. Using fake names, he took deposits and then vanished — leaving renters with nothing but receipts and empty listings. The court sentenced him to a full year in prison, warning everyone to vet listings, meet in person, and never ignore that gut feeling when something feels off.
