PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – A couple moving from Miami to southwest Florida said they were tricked into buying their dream home.
"We are going to live under a bridge," Ines Cabrera told WBBH-TV in Fort Myers.

Cabrera and her husband, Rafael Cabrera, said they were robbed of their life savings and need an affordable home fast.
They said they went online and paid $200 for a list of foreclosed properties in Lee County, eventually settling on a home in Lehigh Acres. They said a man from AmericanStandardOnline.com claimed to own the home, so they signed a contract and gave him $7,000 in cash.
It was only afterward that they realized it was all a scam.
Ines Cabrera called it her "dream house," but she said the experience has "been a nightmare."
Now the bank that legally owns the home told them they have to move out.
