@Michele722  Yeah saw it in the news yesterday - viral video made the news and is now subject to a criminal investigation.  It's been posted all over Facebook, including in the Airbnb Guest Blacklist forum.

I have told Airbnb about this Credit Card crew here in Atlanta SOOOO many times. They have personally robbed or destroyed my places over 10 times. They only choose homes with Self check options. I am highly upset that Trust and Saftey has not stopped them yet.

Holy smokes! Thanks for sharing. I'll definitely think twice about letting newer customers into my rental from now on.

@Ben551  "including in the Airbnb Guest Blacklist forum"   

 

The what..?  You just throw that in there?  Search results reveal nothing except a possible Facebook group.    You won't be able to share the link on here, obviously, but perhaps you could give some clues to this font of knowledge?

Ha!  I think I'll probably pass on that group.....  there's enough negativity on here to last a lifetime!

Although I might check out the other search result: a show called The Blacklist where airbnb was mentioned.  Is it any good,  do you know?
