What do you think of not paying my roommate back if I get scammed from a security deposit?
It sounds wrong but are you expecting to get scammed?
I'll definitely find other ways to get the money back.
If your landlord scams you, then I understand why you refuse to pay them back. As unfortunate as it may be, this situation may require law enforcement.
I'll get revenge by destroying their reputation and making them pay. Plus, I bet I could just pay myself from their bank account anyway.
I wouldn't get revenge or do anything that could get you in trouble. I think you should just call the police and get them involved if you think you are being scammed. That way, there wouldn't be any ramifications for you and you would have a higher chance of getting your deposit back.
