...I have a hard time believing this is not a hoax..<br />First, there are no photos, of anything. Then even after realizing there was something not right, you went ahead with the transaction. You say you were traveling, yet your passport was in the apartment. Why would anyone leave their valuables/ pieces of sentimental value behind knowing a stranger would be in their home? It just does not add up. You either have no common sense at all, or shit luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-12152997649038205602014-08-19T10:00:30.544-04:002014-08-19T10:00:30.544-04:00we enjoyed so much your home ! lolwe enjoyed so much your home ! lolDj Pattrsonhttp://img.over-blog.com/296x296/1/01/97/74/miss-peggy/facedebouc.pngnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-4774386617915139782014-08-15T11:16:23.519-04:002014-08-15T11:16:23.519-04:00Hi I'm sorry for that..Hi I'm sorry for that..davidcummingshttp://www.homerentlistings.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-26100100787770696102014-06-11T18:32:59.625-04:002014-06-11T18:32:59.625-04:00I`m a former Employee of airbnb and I can warn eve...I`m a former Employee of airbnb and I can warn everybody who likes to travel not to use `the service` of airbnb. I worked in the trust&safety Department of airbnb and checked new listings and hosts on a daily base. The interesting fact I approached there is the low security standards airbnb put on potential new hosts and jeopardize the safety of all guests. If you want to host airbnb guests you can grab any pictures from the internet like a nice five star villa or a beautiful castle and declare yourself as the `official owner` of this listing, you do not need to provide any form of ID or Proof of Ownership like a Utility bill of the listing. This means in fact that almost more than 50 Percent of the listings on airbnb are fake or put from drug dealers or other criminals to make `the easy money` with the dumb tourists. Trust&Safety just work this way, that they take a look on the Pictures of the listing and declare them as genuine or not. There is no background-check put in place what kind of host you can expect (even serial-killer or Drug Dealers could be hosts at airbnb) . And if the host need to provide a ID they can easely fool the automated security system by providing any kind of Photo ID, the automated system called Jumio accept even Library ID`s . I discussed this issue with my Manager who is responsible for the Security of the listings and he replied to me back that airbnb don`t want to put much restrains on new hosts to register with airbnb (!!!) Sorry, every banking institution or Gambling Website has better security measures in place to prevent Criminals to do their illegal activities but on airbnb every Criminal is warm welcomed to register as a host without hassle to be security checked. You don`t believe it? Try to register yourself at airbnb website as a host with any `funny Name` and put the `Oval Office` as your listing, you will be surprised how quick you are `approved` and go live with this `listing` . Sounds funny, but what will happen when a Hannibal Lecter will be the next host inviting guests to stay for Dinner or even worse.

This person thought she was going to get someone to take care of her houseplants for a week, while she charged them half a month's rent. She was stupid and naive. If the transaction goes smoothly, great.

It's a good reminder to all of us (who use Air B&B, Couchsurfing and other similar services) that (1) these companies don't do any background or credit checks on people who sign-up to rent; and (2) the company is not liable for any valuable/personal items that might get stolen or destroyed by the renters. While it's nice to assume that anyone using these services would be honest and nice. we all know there are bad people out there who can abuse the system. And for the 2 reasons above, I say we all should err on the cautious side by taking preventive measures and precautions (ie. don't leave any personal or majorly valuable items in your home when renters come stay there!!).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190965240661688576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-37273301067169734252013-09-11T03:56:10.315-04:002013-09-11T03:56:10.315-04:00Great post! you have some brilliant contents!Great post! you have some brilliant contents!Johor Propertyhttp://malaysiapropertyrealty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-25238742156752230542013-09-10T04:25:21.914-04:002013-09-10T04:25:21.914-04:00I love this blog! keep up good works...its to be n...I love this blog! keep up good works...its to be nice if we can know each other, do you think so?Johor Propertyhttp://malaysiapropertyrealty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645825672264359366.post-17392097341742151702013-08-30T08:50:54.057-04:002013-08-30T08:50:54.057-04:00Nice blog it is.....Thanks for this post.
