A McDonough man will be in court next week to answer charges that he used craiglist.org to defraud potential renters out of thousands of dollars, according to authorities.
Joel Robert House allegedly rented the same Ellenwood home to seven different people, and collected more than $10,000 in deposits for lease agreements to a home he does not own, according to McDonough and Henry County police.
