The owner of the house in Rosemed said that strangers continue to appear at her front door after she included the deception of her house for rent on a famous travel site.
Alexis Cavish said her home was published in a fake rental list on Booking.com. Although the title is correct, the photos listed in the post were not from her home.
She said: “We discovered that our house is listed on Booking.com and we do not rented our house on Booking.com, so we had some people appearing in our house, believing that they rented our house.”

She said Cavish, not only renting her home, but she doesn’t even have an account with Booking.com.
However, during the past 24 hours, two groups of strangers arrived at her front door, indicating an e -mail assertion that they booked her house as a short -term rent through the website. She had to stay away from her.
Fortunately, until now, people [who have shown up] “It was nice, but they are strangers to the house where I have children, and I have a stadium and I do not like the idea of coming to my home,” said Cavish.
Her home was listed by the deception for nearly $ 400 a night. Cafish said it was surprised by how this mixed occurred.
“I feel frustrated because the company does not do due care,” she said. “Why does the owner not have to prove some ownership before he can impose fees on people to stay?”
David Lazaros, KTLA consumer, said that similar fraud in rent has become increasingly common.
“It is a common fraud that there is a name for it-short-term fraud-the most common on Airbnb and Booking.com,” explained Lazaros.
Often, many rent or holiday sites have automatic listing procedures, which means that there are no people actually examining or checking the publications.
He said that what to do most when renting a place via the Internet is to make sure that all payments are on the same site and not through the application of a third party.
“Stay on the site,” Lazaros said. “With regard to any batch, any connection, do not leave the platform. So, if the list says they want you to pay with Zelle or Venmo or another digital payment plan, especially if they ask for encryption, and stay away.”
Lazarros said that there is another way to protect yourself, when providing it with the title of the house after reservation, search for the Google Maps address to make sure that the house matches the pictures of the rental and description menu.
