The entire saga and all the screenshots and proof are in the above article. Airbnb and MadeComfy Australia are the culprits
The Melbourne apartment I booked was clearly listed @ $2182 (USD). The checkout screen said $2182, however, when I clicked the Pay button, the next screen said "Thank you for your payment of $3,158.17." On December 29th, I immediately emailed AirBnb with the following screenshots, emailed MadeComfy with the mistake and also called AirBnb. I asked them to either honor the price I was quoted or cancel the reservation in full so I could find a place within my price range. Both companies refuse to do anything.
Now I'm 8 days in to this 1 month NIGHTMARE and no one is helping at all. Both Airbnb and MadeComfy just want to keep their stolen money while I have to stay in this apartment that was a complete lie on their site. I've lost work and an additional $1000 by losing a job and getting a bad review on a site I use to get business, all because the Wifi doesn't work in this apartment.
Has anyone ever gotten their money back from Airbnb? Or gotten themselves out of one of their scams/stealing/lying/cheating?
Thanks!
