'The fact that this happened in my home makes me feel completely terrible,' said Dominika Opaczynska.
-- A woman in Berwyn rented out her unit on a popular vacation rental app – not realizing it would be used by someone else to scam families out of thousands of dollars.
When Opaczynska put a unit of her Berwyn building up for reservation on the vacation rental site Vrbo, she was hoping it would help her make some extra cash."Nobody wants this to happen to them," Opaczynska said. The day Angel checked out, two families came knocking on Opaczynska's door, asking for the money they thought they had given Angel for a deposit on what they thought would be their future home.
But how did he do it? Opaczynska said the victims told her they saw Angel's listing on a Facebook page for apartment rentals.
