Woman helps police catch alleged scam artist | LOCAL NEWS | KHOU.com | News for Houston, Texas: "Amber Rogers, a single mom, believed she had found the perfect home for her kids inside a gated community off Barker Cypress.

Rogers says she found the home online. She called the number in the ad and spoke to Jonathan Soto. He claimed he worked for an investor who was saving homes from foreclosure, and then renting them out.

Rogers signed the lease, gave him a $2,500 cash deposit, and was ready to move in.

But when she pulled up to the gated community, she learned that she had been scammed."

Good work on her part. She hid in the garage and called 911. He was taking deposits from multiple people for the same house.
