JONESBORO, Ga. -- Police apprehended a woman, allegedly posing as a real estate professional, after some of her apparent victims set up a sting Thursday night.

Channel 2 Action News cameras were there as angry victims confronted the woman. When police arrived at the scene, the woman fled into a nearby wooded area and was later taken into custody.

Earlier in the day, Marquitta Seaborn told Channel 2 Action News reporter Jeff Dore that she too is a victim.

Seaborn said she thought she struck gold when she found an ad on Craigslist for a four-bedroom, split-level home listed “for rent.”

The mother of three told Dore that she met Kenya Nicholson, the alleged leasing owner for the property, and paid Nicholson $900 for rent and a move-in deposit.

Seaborn said she was set to meet Nicholson at the property Thursday morning, but when she arrived, she got a huge shock.

“When I got there, there were five other people ready to move in as well, with a lease, keys and money paid,” said Seaborn. “I can’t believe this.”

Another potential renter told Dore that she drove from Maryland to Jonesboro where the house is located.

“She [Nicholson] showed us the house like she really knew this address very well,” said Catina Simms.

Dore decided to check out the rental ad himself, but by Thursday afternoon, the fraudulent listing had been removed from Craigslist.
