In Houston, Texas, KVUE-TV Channel 11 reports on a woman who, after being ripped off out of $2,500 by an alleged scam artist who rented her a vacant home he didn't own, turned the tables on him and played a key part in apprehending him while he was in the process of running the same scam on another prospective renter. He reportedly told the prospective tenants that he worked for an investor who was saving homes from foreclosure, and then renting them out.
