Deaf Woman Evicted After Housing Scam | Cleveland News

A deaf woman in Toledo lost her home after being scammed out of $12,000 by a fraudster posing as a representative of the Deaf Services Center. Believing they’d help her secure a new place with furniture, she stopped paying rent—leading to eviction and homelessness. Officials removed her belongings from her Vermaas Avenue home, while her son scrambles for temporary shelter. Four of her five dogs were taken by the Humane Society, though she kept one service animal. A friend is now helping them stay together temporarily as she works with the real Deaf Services Center to find housing. Though she’s filed a police report, recovery of the money seems unlikely—and a GoFundMe has been launched to support her and her son during this devastating time.
