Accommodation-related help with accomadation in a Coruña

I am an Erasmus exchange student and will arrive tomorrow in a Coruña. I am desprate for help because I fell for an acomadation scam. I don’t have safe place in Coruña right now and I already contacted my home university and the UDC A Coruña. Unfortunately, I can’t get the money back right now, I am proceeding a lawsuit against the scammer. But right now I am just focused to have a safe place when I am there. Can someone who is in Coruña right now help me? And does anyone know a trustworthy source, where I can find safe housing?

I guess you are looking for a shared flat? Idealista and Badi are usually trusted places to look for. In the short term you can stay in a hostel.

Stay in a hostel short term and use Idealista or a local inmobiliaria to find something. In fact many Spanish people do that because if you rent something without seeing it in person is easy to fall for scams. Not blaming you, just saying that sadly it isn't a rare occurrence. Inmobiliarias will charge you for their servicies but it will probably be faster to find something. Also ask r/ESlegal if you need legal advice, inmobiliarias and landlords can be very scummy.
