The unfortunate part here is there isn’t much protection from this scam. This can happen more than you think for Airbnb’s. In reality, a lot of times, the host will advertise the listing at a higher price for your weekend, and if they get a buyer, they will cancel your reservation. Sometimes the host may cancel your reservations made weeks in advance, and the reason will be “no more vacancies.” While Airbnbs has become one of the most popular ways to stay overnight, there are different scams to look out for that you won’t necessarily see at a hotel or resort. The actual owner, Fernando, stated, “today, when we went to collect the keys, there was no one here, and our belongings, appliances, bedding, pans, and furniture were all gone.” The victims have shared the woman’s name and image through social media networks in an effort to catch her.
According to reports, the female stole furniture and other items from the apartment, then rented the owner’s apartment out to an unsuspecting third party and “charged” close to $800. She went through Airbnb to rent the apartment from the owner, Fernando. On Friday, April 29th, the incident occurred when a woman identified as Cristina rented an apartment in La Paz. Authorities have confirmed the story and are still looking for the suspect. This story has circulated on social media networks, giving the incident extra attention. Over the past weekend, a woman in La Paz was accused of stealing from her Airbnb host and defrauding another person as well.
