When it comes to potential violations AirBnb really milks the “private business” aspect of things. I’ve learned that loud mouths behind closed doors doesn’t do much but if you start reaching out to them publicly (twitter, Facebook, etc) you will get a response faster. In the mean time, are you listed elsewhere? Vrbo, HomeAway, booking? So you aren’t losing potential bookings while Airbnb gets it together?

Hello Yu, I would be interested in a conversation if this is still available.
Michael Alexander is actually Michael Melendez. He is a known scammer (google him) do not do business with this man or you will end up regretting it! He was on bigger pockets before as Michael Melendez with My House Services and numerous people posted about how Michael scammed them out of so much money! Please be careful!

I also had the unfortunate opportunity to have met Michael Melendez. He rented my property and turned it into an AirBnb no problem but then started taking people’s money for there stays but never giving them access to the property. Several vacationers contacted me since I legally own the property. All the guests were from over seas so Michael Melendez knew it would be hard for them to take legal action.

He is back on bigger pockets with the name Michael Alexander and his new scam company is Momentary Manor. BEWARE!!!

I just wanted to do my due diligence to advise all of a Scammer that claims to work for MVP (Me Vacation Property Management). He will be very diligent and responsive at first, then once he has your money he will disappear and your business listings will also disappear. I have also been tracking his scams as well, to ensure that this tends to be his M.O. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from him and his fake company!
This person owes me personally about $950.00 to which is preventing my daughter from being able to play Lacrosse as I am a single mother (do not get child support or any other form of help) I took this "job" from him as a second income and way to pay off my hospital bills and to help support myself/daughter...What kind of heartless individual would do this? well look below...
He took money from a father/son in my area via wire transfer and then disappeared on us. I have another individual to which a similar occurrence has happened, and there are a few other local individuals to which he never finished two properties locally, he (well I did but he was supposed to reimburse my expenses) started three other properties.. I have also tracked some individuals around the U.S. that have had similar issues with him. I am leaving names out to protect the individuals privacy, however I would encourage all whom have been scammed to tell their stories to help save other individuals from this same issue. thank you for your time and if ANYONE can help me track him down I would totally appreciate it!
He has a new company on Bigger Pockets now. His new name is Michael Alexander and his company is Momentary Manor. The scammer is back!!
