Molly Scheider is doing well these days, with a new job at an East Hampton veterinary practice, plans to enter Suffolk Community College in the fall, and a creative writing project in the works, but it wasn't always that way for the Pierson High School graduate, who manages major depressive disorder, anxiety, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

“Oh, hi! We’re the people who rented your place.” That’s what the owner of a Springs property, who asked not to be named, said she heard about 20 times, almost daily, over the past three weeks. She believes she has been the victim of a summer house rental scam.
