AirBnb scam featuring a BP member!

In what will hopefully be a wake-up call for AirBnb, one of the hosts was pulling bait-and-switches across the country. He'd show pictures of a nice place, get a reservation, call right before the stay and say that there are plumbing issues, then offer a replacement property that's a dump. Rinse, repeat.

What's more, he's a BP member! Looks like the FBI has gotten involved now. Not sure if Shray Goel is still active on the forums, but BP members may not want to follow his "Buy, don't Rebab, Rent, Ruse, Repeat" method.
