Hi, my name is Mercedes.

I’m 27 years old and have a traumatic brain injury. On Jan 30th I was a victim of a rental scam for a studio apartment in Orillia Ontario.

This left me with $10.66 to my name and no apartment to move into. I was looking forward to moving back to the Orillia area as all my supports are in the area.

The incident has been reported to the OPP and it’s being investigated as fraud. However, this has caused undue hardships for me and my animals.
