Sylvan Homes review: Housing rental properties located in mississippi 1

My husband & I was recently scammed out of $3500 trying to rent a property located in mississippi. Went through the rently website to email about the property and was contacted immediately. We sent multiple payments and completed all the steps. Just to find out that we were unfortunately illegal tenants. We used all the money we had thinking we were going through a professional website and signing with a trusted company. I don't know who to exactly contact when these of situations happens. I need this issue resolved asap. This is absolutely horrible because now my husband and I including our 4 children have to be forced from a home and find a new place to stay! We saved that money to get a home. Just to be scammed and I have been reaching out looking for the right person to talk to and haven't received any help!
