I knew a guy back in the 90s that went half on a deer lease with his friend. First week hunting there a guy approached him and ordered him off of his property. He told him that he had a lease with the owner and had already paid him. Turned out they got scammed, of course the guy who "leased" him the property had his phone disconnected and they never saw him again.
I’ve heard of that happening several times, worked with a guy that got scammed like that
