A friend got scammed by responding to an ad on CL, paying a large deposit for a sublet, then being notified that she would not be allowed to move in and that she would not get her money back. The reasons given for being unable to return her money were not credible. At least one other person appears to have been duped. What should my friend do? Is there any point in going to the police? Is there any recourse? She does not know the name of the other victim.
Thanks.
