Prisoner Runs Hunting Lease Scam | Atlanta News

A convicted inmate in Georgia just got a whole new set of charges after allegedly running a $100K+ hunting lease scam from behind bars in Florida. Rodney Smith, already serving time, used smuggled phones and fake profiles to lure hunters across 15 counties with non-existent land deals — pocketing deposits while locked up. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission says his scheme shattered trust in the hunting community and is now charging him with four felonies, including fraud and illegal communications. Bond? A whopping $700K. Authorities in both states teamed up to catch him — and this case is still heating up in court.
