Default Bogus real estate agent gets jail sentence

I remember quite a while ago a poster from this forum rented a house through www.stayz.com.au only to find on arrival that the house didn't exist and the advertiser had made off with their money (the web site wasn't to blame - the fraudster had just used the site to advertise).

They got the guy and he is off to jail for 30 months.
