"The scamming problem is huge, scammers are very smart online. And when students are just desperate to find a place, it can be very easy to get scammed," said Christine Olory founderOlory said she first started working to help French students find housing in San Diego as a way to make extra money when she came here on a student visa and was having trouble affording tuition. She eventually created Room Chazer as a way to connect roommates and quality rental properties.
