  Speaker 2: like that has a choice, no that I just I
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: feel like I kept getting involved in him when I
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: was at younger because I used to work in the mall.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: When I was a kid, right place for scams, Yeah yeah.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: And then I would wear nice clothes because I worked
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: at JAYC Pennies. And then I was sitting in the
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: mall at lunch, you know, eating the uh there at
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the food court is so what that's called? And then
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I feel like, I don't know, I feel like I
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: just looked like this helpless young black man.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: You know, so you wear like a suit, yeah yeah, yeah,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: So they would come up to me be like, hey man,

  Speaker 2: let me sit down, talk to your brother, and then
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: start asking me questions, and you know, I'm trying to
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: be nice and then they start, you know, they say,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you know, do you want more out of life? Because
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: they know I ain't making no money at jac Pennies.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: And then they would, you know, get me to come
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: to this house. I went to this house at night
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and it was like all these people there and then
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: I'm like, this ain't no real company, and it was
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: like we were selling credit cards, but it was like
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: not no major credit cards.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: It was weird credit card company being run out of
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: a house.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a customer service. But that was my first
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: introduction to scams and it never really left. Felt like
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I kept getting approached and then for some reason, I.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Was you're pretty far along with it if you made
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: it to the house where they were they doing the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: credit card.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: I was actually scared because the come on his podcast.

  Speaker 2: if you have like scammers come on, but I'm definitely
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: like the victim, Like, yeah, I'm a mark.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Is that what they call?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah?

  Speaker 2: Because I'm so I believe in the good and all people,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: so like you'm always giving people the benefit of doubt.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: So the guy's like, you know, we're gonna get you
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: some work and get you a better opportunity. I'm just
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: assuming that to do that for me.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: You don't know how excited.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: What's gonna happen?

• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Work in the garage. People got great benefits.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.

  Speaker 3: We haven't had a mark yet.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: We've had a lot of scammers and a lot of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: people who say that they aren't scammers, and then by
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the end they're like, oh my god, I I you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I'm a charlatan. I haven't had a genuine mark yet.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: You have this beautiful glow in your eyes.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm too trusted like I got.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I was doing one where we're selling like car wax
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: at the gas station. You ever see those people they
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: sell car wax at the gas station and it's like,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: you're like, what is this? It's like, first of all,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: why are we selling why are we independently selling this
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: like item? And then at a place that sells it
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: inside the gas station, and then we have to go
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: up to the strangers in the car and then do test.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: You have to like test it. Have you ever seen this?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: You're I'm talking about so y'all was selling it for cheaper.
• 6:29

• 6:32
  Speaker 2: front of them, and then we would keep how many
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: depending on how much we sold, we would keep. You know,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: how much.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Would you demonstrate?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Like could I get my whole car waxed as a demonstration?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: See, that would be See how scammy you are? You
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: just flipped it on on those guys.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you get involved in that job? Is
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: it in the Craigslist ad?
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Is it a newspaper?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Well, basically when that was when I moved to LA
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: when basically like you know, when you come out here,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: you need a job. Yeah, I would go on Craigslist
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: and they would say marketing because I had a business degree.
• 7:03

  Speaker 2: what I want to do, you know what I mean?

• 7:19
  Speaker 2: seeming legit and set up like a.

• 8:53
  Speaker 1: this is actually a scam that Okay, guys on the internet,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you know, we all see like a juicy guy story,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it goes viral on Reddit, we're all talking about it.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I have recently learned that these is scams.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: So sometimes people will make up viral content, like especially
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: on Facebook, and then get it on Reddit, get it everywhere,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: and put it in a private group so nobody can
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: actually tell the origin of where it all came from
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: for real, just to drive traffic to like a new website,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: a new business, a page or anything like that. And
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: one of the most recent was that everybody's really talking
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: about and kept tagging me in is the wedding scam. Okay, okay,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: but the story is still fun, so I'm still going.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: To read into you guys, but it is so.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: This is the first message that comes from the bread.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: HI invite teats to this wedding. This is the bread,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and then it has like the pertinent information blocked out.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: After much reflection and tear filled conversation with our closest
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: family members, we've decided to cancel our upcoming winter wedding.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: We will further notify the group when we are in
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a better place to reschedule. We thank each every one
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: of you for your generous donations to our money fund.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Can you believe we have raised over thirty thousand dollars unbelievable.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Don't worry. The money you've donated will not be spent
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: in vain, but rather used towards a honeymoon in the
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: coming months, after we regain financial stability and hold calm
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: in our hearts. After our honeymoon, we will announce a
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: new wedding date and reopen our money fund for any
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: further gifts. Weddings are expensive, we are blessed to have
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: generous family members with these large donations. Please stay tuned
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: and in the meantime, we'll be updating our gift registry
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: on Amazon. If anyone would like to give us something
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: to take on our honeymoon. If you have any ideas
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: where we should go, please dm me and Edward Wow.

• 10:43
  Speaker 3: fund and the new wedding in the works. Don't be
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: too sad.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: New wedding is going to be a hit.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Love you, Sham pam A new fan wasn't gonna get
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: married bad?
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Did it say weddings are expensive?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Way?
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: What that was written?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Really believable? Right?
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah? And but here's the crazy thing though, that like
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: there are crowd funds happening for weddings, This is not
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: actually that bizarre. And if the wedding just did it happen,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I would probably be pissed if I gave you my
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: fucking coins. And I'm expected to get a chicken or
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a fish plate, right, and I'm gonna dance, you know,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and hopefully find like a bachelor there, I'm gonna find
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a man like you're fucking up all my bags. I
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: was supposed to come, get a meal, get drunk, find
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a new love interest who's like all full of whimsy
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: because he just watched two niggas getting married then we
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: was gonna at least make out. He was probably gonna
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: touch my boob. Now I'm not gonna have none of that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a real shame.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: I would be mad.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: So uh so I don't understand. So it's basically like
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: we're all you were. Is it sent to people that
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: were invited? Yeah? People?
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: And this is a private Facebook girl.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Now I'm telling y' all that I think.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: This whole thing is a scam in itself, But I
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: just thought the concept was so fascinating and I get
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: why these are so like we are so interest in
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: them because like these do happen and people use gofunding
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: money for the wrong reason all the time. It's like
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: no one can actually tell you what to do with
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the money.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy that gofummy is being corrupted like that,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, is it? I don't know. I feel like
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: you're right though. It's like like people be just texting
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: you now like hey man, I'm hurting, like you know,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I gotta go fund me. I'm like, wait, like are
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: you asking me for money just through this.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: But asking through a website link so that it is
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: personal Yeah, and more professional.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: And you also feel badly right now, I.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Feel like I'm doing some good by sending you to.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Right And also it's crazy because it's like a mass
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: text for just hitting niggas up.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Like I remember when you had to like really garrabble.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: You have to garble for some coins. You'd have to
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: text people or you have to call them. You have
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: to call them when they're vulnerable, like at eight PM
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: right after supper.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I am vulnerable right there. Every time at APM.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: I was like, I hope don't want to ask me
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: for I think because I will give it.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: To cause you're a little tired your chest dates, so
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you probably got the itist and I know that you
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: probably have a little empathy in your heart for me,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So I call you up
• 13:09

  Speaker 1: to go get her life. She was gonna get her
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: nails done, her hair, everything did.
• 15:05

• 15:06
  Speaker 1: She was going to the bash, the Red Party, was
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: going to probably see some sexy men wagon dick around there.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Then she was gonna go. It was gonna be a

• 15:25
  Speaker 1: She says, you're gonna need a few months to regain
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: financial stability. And then the cherry on the cake is
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: you have the motherfucking Christ on a bike's audacity to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: request or gifts.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Christ.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I love that. Oh my god, there's nothing more on that,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: she said, Jesus Christ on a bike.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Nothing.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: The man can walk up water, yeah, he don't need
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: no bike.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah if it could turn one in a wine, but
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: he needs a bike.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Nah.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: So this goes on and like people are like threatening
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: her and are like, send us our money back, run
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: me my coins, and she's like, somebody put this on
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Reddit and.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: It blew up, and now I had to go to
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: the hospital. She goes, I had to go to the hospital.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Wait, who's saying that?
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Hood Oh, So after this goes viral, she's saying I
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: had to go to the hospital because I had a
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: panic attack and the hospital cost me seven hundred.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: And eighty dollars seven hundred.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: He says, thank god, you'll be forced to pay for
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: that with the money fund, and she's like, do not
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: contact me. Then she goes and you can fuck She
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: says I can't believe that I've had to draw of
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: this because of your slander's attacks for my own family
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: and friends. And now you can put the two thousand
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: dollars bill. I don't care. The bill went up in
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the second paragrapt two thousand. It was seven sixty five in.
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: The first that was that was crazy.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: That was two thousand, and then by the end of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: this she's like, in the meantime, please consider donating any
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: spat personal care items to my home address if you
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: care about me at all. We've lost close to three
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars from the money fund due to medical ex business.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: The fourth paragraph, it's now three thousand dollars day.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: So as you read it, you just see your pocket
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: strength as you keep going. All right, So let me ask,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: because you know, I don't really know that's that's a
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: pretty good scam. If you know, what do you think?
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Is that like a good scam? Or is that would
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: you see right through that right away?
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: So it all kind of starts to look a little
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: fishy when you look at the comments, the timeframe, the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: way that things are written. Yeah, and also the fact
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: that there's like no likes or like angry faces on
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: anybody's comments. There's no way for us to tell that
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: there was any real interaction happening between the people, but
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: it was just slowly being released by someone.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then the whole.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Story was the first story on this website's page. Ever,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: so it seems as though they were just trying to
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: drive traffic with this fake story. But it's a good
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: one because I was entertained, Like, y'all, I like this scam.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Like, yeah, that was it italic. I felt like I
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: could see the wedding. I was I mean, I was
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: seeing everything, the relationship and how it fell apart, and
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: like her in the hospital, I was picturing that panic attack. Right,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: is this a heart attack? It's definitely a heart attack.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: And then the fiance is like, no.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Baby, this is a panic attack.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: And they don't even know what to agree on, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: he's like, look, I'm just going to the hospital because.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: I don't take from the money fund, right.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: But we can't think about it right there because your
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: heart rateers have once seven.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It's okay.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: When we go to the hospital.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Then we'll tell everyone went to the hospital and that
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: they need to donate more money or and or spa supplies.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: That's a good idea, and that's why I'm going to
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: marry you.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, I love you, so I love you.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Too, and you're rich.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Uncle.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: We thought could never get anything out of there because
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: there's one guy who's like, I paid for me and
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: my whole family, and he done it at twelve thousand dollars.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I was like, twelve thousand dollars. What it calls you
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: your whole family to go to the wedding.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: How many motherfucker family members you got?
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: So crazy? Wow?
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: But people are like very particular about that.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: One of my best friends is about to get married,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and she was saying, like, I'm only giving plus ones
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to people who have been in a relationship for five
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: years or more.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I was like, damn, So I'm just having to bring
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: my lonely ass to your wedding, like buy myself, I bring.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: A side day.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Five years is a long time. I mean that's basically
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: like they should be getting married. I mean on the
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: verge of that and then.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Like married or you have to be in a relationship
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: for five years. So I either got to be carry
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: fucking Bradshaw here big breaking my heart right in my back.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: What if it's somebody you dated for five years, but
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: y'all broke up. But then you looking up and bring
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: them back.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: King right now, Yeah, he's like, no.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Y'all not, y'all not committed.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: This, don't worry. But my cousin she got when she
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: got married, she she said, the rule is they can't
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: be if you bring a plus one, they just have
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: had to have met them at one time. So if
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: you're in their life, if they're in your life enough,
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: they should have met you. So that means if you
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: kept be having people, you're keeping the side and you're
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: not bringing them around. You don't bring them on your
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: friends the face time in the moment, like after wedding,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: you're like, this is him, he's on his way.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, technically you've met. That's how I get
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: around that scam. I'll be like, but you already here, y'all.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Like I get it, it's wedding. You don't want to feed people.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: But also I'm like, can there just be an option?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Why just slide you to fifty five dollars? But they
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: played this because this is just like.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: I know, yeah, just give it that. I'll give you
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: an extra money for it. Right.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: That actually seems like a good idea.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: But these are millennial problems. It's time from my favorite
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: segment of this show. I say that every week Historic Hoodwings.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: So this is where I'm gonna regale Lamar the famous scam,
• 20:20

  Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: Please don't right.

  Speaker 1: I'm a black woman. Y'all got to help me. Okay,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Trump is president and my life is too hard.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: You know that Trump. That's the biggest scam.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: He is and I can't even talk about him America.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: He's oh god, Oh.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: I could do like a twenty part episode on Trump,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: but I just can't praise him for that shit.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Maybe when he's out of office.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you should do like the a after he's out,
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: like a scam.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Got t Lizzie first day out. Yes, okay, so this
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: is a historic hoodwink and it is about a nationwide
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: airbnb scam.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Have you ever used an Airbnb?
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've used it where What's I've used it in?
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Actually Spain actually when I was Airbnb and Barcelona in Barcelona, Blona. Yeah,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: it was very nice. It was cool.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I feel like the Airbnbs that I've had abroad have
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: been pretty nice. Actually.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: I think I used one in Paris once and ended
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: up being a bed and breakfast and like they had
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the best croissants, which is like the most American thing
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: to say.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: But it was like, so they had they had some
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: good croissants in Paris. Listen, believe tell me how Paris
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: was man the croissants.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: So they doing something different to them over there.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Okay, but yeah, I did an AIRBBB there and I
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: did an Airbnb that was why did I feel like
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: that was young time? I don't know. I did win
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: in the York went in Brooklyn too, so that yeah, there.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Was a Okay, Brooklyn feels like that's where it. We're
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: probably getting a little scammery, you.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Know what I mean? It was. I mean, I don't
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: want to stop your theme, but.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah it did.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Shady Man issue was so whack. It was like so
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: in the picture it said it was like an artist
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: laft right, and it was like all white and it
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: looked beautiful, like you could see the whole city, and
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I was like, I want to stay here. So then
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: when I got there, it was definitely like a homeless man.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: It was like that. It was like, first there was
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: a person, the person was not leaving. I mean, I
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: think that might be normal to New York airbnbs, but
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: like she was in there.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: It was also it was like.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: Completely in the hood and it was like rats everywhere.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: I saw like three rats when I walked in.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's the rats neighborhood, like you stepped it today. Home.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Like they were like, you're not supposed to do that.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: That's illegal. So then I get aside and they have
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: one of those cats. And I don't know if you
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: know this about me, but I'm terrified at cats. So
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: I try to say allergic, not terrified, but so but
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I can tolerate them. But this was the one that
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: doesn't have any hair. It was like, yeah, it was
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: discussing no offense if you like cats.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: But we do love cats. I love cats.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Sorry, it's okay, but for just keep in mind, I
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: was paying to be at this place, so it's like
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I had to. It was like I was in a
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: small room and the cat was all over me, and
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: then I had to get out of there.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: I just was all over you.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: They didn't even just like put the cat in the room.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: They just let the cat roll.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: They just let it like she's she was like, okay,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: this is the place, and then left and then left
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: me with the cat. And I was just sitting in
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: the house in this in this apartment to watch this
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: ca yeah, and then cat. But then I left, so
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: that cat was alone. That cat was alone all night.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: So I got out of there. I was like, I'm
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: out of here. And then I just got a hotel somewhere.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: That's so bizarre that no one wants an Airbnb where
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: there is another person.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I don't want a roommate on air I don't want
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: I don't want one on vacation.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Is so true, Lacy, That's exactly what I felt. And
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: also like I don't want to pay to be and
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: around animals like that. I mean, like even if I
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: love cats or whatever, I don't want to go into
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: an airbnb and there'll be animals in there. That seems
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: like I thought you you.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Should talk about it, So this air you should mention it.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: This airbnb very similar, kind of like what we call
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: a bait and switch in the s game game, the
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: scam game, I said, scaming game. But we call this
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: a bait and switch, which basically means like you're offered
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: one thing and you get something else, which is exactly
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: like what happened to your story in Brooklyn. Like you
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: were offered a beautiful loft and what you got was
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: as a roommate and a cat.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Well, now sounds like a cool deal. It's like I
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: got you a roommate and a cat. Three yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: So basically, these two people decided that they were going
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: to go to a music festival. And this is a
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: big story that was in Vice that everybody tagged me
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: in on Twitter. So the scam came about ten minutes
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: before we were set to check into this airbnb. This
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: is in Chicago, he says. I was sitting at a
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: brewery just around the corner from the rental on north
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Wood Street, and the man on the other end of
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: the line said that our planned visit wouldn't be possible.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: A previous guest had flushed something down the toilet, which
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: had left the unit flooded with water, he explained. Apologetic,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: he promised to let us stay in another property he
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: managed until he could call it plumber. So I think
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: that this scam is perfect because like, what's the one
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: thing that could not be functioning at a place that
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: you would be like, okay, I can't stay there? And
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: that's like plumbingl or water, Like if you say, yeah,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: got water, I'm like okay, but like yeah.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: That's like, you know, our biggest fare like with earthquakes,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: it's like water, Like not having water in the place. Yeah,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: it's like that's like an apopalyptic ruling.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: But then it's also one of those things of like
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: it can be broken and it can be fixed real quick.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: It's not like you said the bitch burned down. Like
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: you can't come back from saying something burned down. You
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: can be like, okay, are you at this airbnb?
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Like this kitchen is charred, but you know, yeah, it.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Actually burnt down. So you can't stay here. You can't
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: call the next day and be like you know what,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: we got everything back up and running.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, though, It's like plumbers are on deck constantly.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: I know plumbers ready to go. Everywhere I go, I
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: see a plumber with a wrench ready to fix the ship.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: But they, you know, it would clearly like yeah.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: You know, yeah, like please put the wrench down. I'm
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: trying to make love. He was like, I never know
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: what will call me?
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Damn lazy? How you fucking plumbers out here?
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Plumbers make good money and they loyal.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Plumber because my toilets stay working.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Listen, I ain't never had no problems.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: All that makes sense because if you date me, I
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: probably can never fix your toilet.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: You can't fix my toilet.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: See, I offer a lot of things, but fixing plumbing
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: is not one of them.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: That's a shame, truly.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: So so this is a good excuse, right, So they
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: basically decide in a wick pinch that like one, we
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: don't have enough time to get a hotel right now.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people in town. The rates are
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: very high obviously, Like if it's ten minutes before you're
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: about to pull up at the joint, like, you really
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: don't have a lot of options. So the airbnb guy goes,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: don't worry. There's an upside here. He goes, I have
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: another rental place that is available right now, and it's
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: in the area.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: And he said that it's right off the blue line.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: It's spacious. And he says that this place, you know,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: that means something does He says, it's about three times
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: bigger and that's the good news. Now.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: As if she says, as if he could.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Hear me calculating in my head, how much of a
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: hass would be to you know, find a hotel and whatever,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: He's like, you know, I.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Don't have a lot of time.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: You have to decide immediately if you want to change
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the reservation.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: She has to talk in person.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: He said, I'm very busy at my job, employment and
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: my employment, and I cannot.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Speak on the phone.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: And you have to hurry up and decide now. So
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: also he's put a time strain on this line.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: That's real scammy.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you need dress like because if
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: you people are in their right mind, their despo meter
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: is low, Like you're not going to be desperate enough
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: to fall for the scam.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: But if you got them on the brink of homelessness.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, then it's like you gotta make a choice.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: Flavor taste just right, yeah, delicious, season to perfection scam, So.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: I love your left okay o bad.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: So the bad news went unstated obviously, and that was
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: that they had unknowingly stumbled into a nationwide web of deception.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: This is what she calls it, that appeared to span
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: eight cities and nearly one hundred property listings, an undetected
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: scam created by some person or organization that had figured
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: out just how easy it was to exploit Airbnb's poorly
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: written rules in order to collect thousands of dollars through
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: phony listings, fake reviews, and intimidation.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: So, considering Airbnb's lack enforcement of its own policies, this
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: is how they started to turn up. Because it's just
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: like Uber and Lyft. We're like, yes, we are a company,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: but we're also a scam because this is just like
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: niggas in their own cars picking you up, or these
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: are people's houses that you're staying in.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: It's a scam.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's yeah. It's like, wait, are you saying this
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: is something I can't get on my own? You know what?
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: It's like they created a business out of something that
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: you could just do on your own.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Right, because now it's like we look, we put all
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the scammers in one place for you.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Now that's now we're hands off. That's all we need.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: May the buyer beware?
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Tell me this was because one time, so I did
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: an Airbnb up and uh, it was in for Thanksgiving.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I had rented a house and then I couldn't get in.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: I guess I didn't really get scammed, but I was like,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: they have like a code to get the key this
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: and so, but the code, the code is wrong. So
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: I was out there for like a long time because
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I kept calling the person like I'm stuck out here.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I can't get in the house and I have and
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: he had to come in and break the break the
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: lock open to get me in there.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Even know so he written out properties that aren't his.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: That's because I was like, it took up a long time,
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, first of all, how come you don't
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: know the password? You should know the password to this
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: luck box? And I was out But I was out
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: there so long, like saying I was under so much dress. Yeah,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: it was out there. It was right around eight o'clock too.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: That's I was real vulnerable.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, you know what. It was nighttime.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing you probably heard Joe calls and was like, Okay,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I got to wait till it's not too hot. I
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: can't be breaking into my hairbnb.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we did have facegiving in there, so at
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: the very least, if somebody would have came in, they
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: would have been, you know, thankful.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: That right, I'm so thankful that you stole this apartment.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah, that sounds a little schedule for anybody.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Times somebody got to break you in the day home.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: You know, we're looking out. But so basically, they popped
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the address into the new Uber and they take off.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: But when the driver approached the drop off location, they
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: noticed something odd. The exact address didn't exist.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: You know when an address doesn't exist, Yeah, fantastic.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if it's not on the map, it's like these
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: numbers don't are.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: On the that's an address. See, I'm sending you more
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: of a vibe of where that happens.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: It's like where you type it in the GPS and
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: then it does this thing where the map just like
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: turns into like a big ass road. It's like it's like,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know what this is. It just breaks the
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: map the GPS right.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Like don't drop a pin to the location like towns
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: like give me an address.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it, I truly love it.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: He's like it's more of an essence, like you'll know
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: when you get to the house, you'll feel it. You'll
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: feel it, you'll know like this is where we're staying,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: you know exactly.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: I can't explain it.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: So so after walking up and down North Kenmore Avenue,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: they were able to find a guesthouse hidden in a
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: back alley that had a keypad.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: On the front keep.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: So that's how you know they're desperate, because then you
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: just kept walking up and down the street. At this point,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: they're like, I don't know the backyards. Yeah yeah, let's
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: just go in other people's backyard.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Can imagine what that must have been like, just that feeling.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know these are white people, because if
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: these were black people, the would be shot on site.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: You can't be walking around in no neighborhood back and
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: forth looking lost as a black Yeah it for that.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know how you would get through that,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: going through a backyard like that.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, there were absolutely the cops would be
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: called immediately.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: And they wouldn't believe the story either. They'd be like,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: we do understand. They told me this address. What was
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: the address.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know the address. They told me it was
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: a vibe. They told you the address was Yes, that's
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: what he said. We was supposed to be staying here.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to be staying in the other place. But
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the toilet burnt down, and now we're here, you know
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: what I mean. Yeah, it doesn't even eat. They would
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: be in jail, you know what I mean. And then
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: you would have a place to stay and bread and water.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's a true airbnb.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: So they get in the house and the pantry has
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know why this is the first detail they
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: give about the house, but they say the pantry has
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: a single.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Body of tree. Oh yeah, they are white.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: They are white.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: The first thing he's like, hey, let's go check out
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: the pantry right away.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: So not the bedroom. I'm not like any like.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: What's the first place check where you're going to an airbnb?
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: The bedroom?
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Like, where am I going to sit? Yeah?
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Where am I going to sleep? Especially if I'm going with
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: other people? I have to real housewives? It and really
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: make sure I meani leaks it and get the best room.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: I think that pantry is the last person place.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not expecting anything to be in there when they're
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: looking for like fresh per simmons.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Like, what do you think this is? Bro? We gotta
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: make sure to write snacks are here before so they.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Go the pantry housed a single bottle of soy sauce.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, oh that is sketchy though. That's weird as fuck,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Like they took everything out.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Why is that the only thing in pantry?
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: It is weird and they should be looking at the
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: pantry first because that would have told me right away
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: to get the hell out of it.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: What kind of people are living there? You're right about that,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: because if I open up, it's just soy sauce. I'm like,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: all these people order this Chinese takeout?
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Is it a bottle of soy sauce or like packets?
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Because that's packets?
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Is even packets?
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Is even sketchier?
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yea?
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Why do you keep it them in the pantry?
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I mean I understand why they would be
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: in a pantry, but I don't stand why they would
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: be the only thing left in a pantry it.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Was just a bottle of soy sauce and it was
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: and I guess it just doesn't get old, but it
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: is a bottle, they said. The couch looked nothing like
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: the one in the photos. The bedrooms were filled with
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: a large number of bizarrely arranged beds.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: The whole place felt grimy, and there was a hole
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: punched in a wall.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Oh wow. The only decor was a giant wooden cross
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: and a few pieces of generic Chicago themed artwork. And
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: the dining room was like overstock dot com barstools that
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: looks like they would turn to dust if you sat
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: on them.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Wow, this person is a really good writer.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: I mean she writes for Vice. Oh yeah, Flynn Ryder,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: what's her name? Shout out to a queen Ali Kanti.
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: Like your descriptive words, but.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: It was these hatch of teals come on through.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: So this Chicago art artwork is interested, I know, I
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: think I know what they're referring to. Those paintings that
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: are like they's just like the skyline of Chicago. Yeah,
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: that kind of shit.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: But what's crazy is is like, why even make an
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: attempt at decorating if it's already that bad.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, well they it's not much of a
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: decoration if that's if they're just putting up skylines.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: They were like, let's go to Ross get a couple
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: of Chicago paintings on.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Sale them Chans is probably like ten dollars. I mean,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: I guess you can.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Find Oh yeah, you can't get them at the gas
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: station you ride about that. See, I don't know them.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Are you might be a scammer?
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Wait?
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I feel like I've become more scam like through this podcast.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: That's what we want to happen. That's the cool.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: We're going to walk out of here and.
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: Start doing fraud. I love it. I'd love to see it.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Right. So, with the first day of my vacation basically gone,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: I decided to let the whole thing slide because like,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: what do you do at that point, Like you just
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: need a roof over your head. You're not going to
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: be there a long term.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they have been walking so wait, so the
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: they didn't even call the guy, call the person or
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: they don't have it.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: I said, he couldn't be talking on the phone, and
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: they he was at work.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: He was at his employment, you know, the house that
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: he works at, making credit cards.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I'm at my employment right now.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: I'm at my employment. Okay, I can't talk. I'm at
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: my employment.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: God damn it.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: I was like a joke from a Florida girl.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: I'm currently at my employment right there. Yeah, oh god,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: that is how high my voice is on that show.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: Whoa God? Bless y'all?
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, So okay, So they got a text from the
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: man the next day who said that the plumbing at
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: the original how rental hadn't been fixed, but that new
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: tenants were moving into our flophouse the next day. So
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: they weren't quite sure what to do, so they booked
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: a hotel and decided to deal with getting a refund later.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: So Jesus, you know what I think this man is
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: doing now that I'm thinking about it.
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: This is a tight rotation.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: So you sign up to go to this nice place
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: with all these picture and ship right. Either he's double
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: booking in and he really owns this property and he's
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: just having like the first wave coming and he'll be
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: like the toilet is fucked up, but still secure the
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: bag and then put them in this like flophouse right right.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: Or he just keeps saying the rentals available and then
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: ten minutes before people try to go, he says the
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: toilet is broken, and then he rotates them to the
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: flophouse is the only house that he got, and then
• 37:26

  Speaker 2: But I love plumbers that carry their tools everywhere, like
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: through the airport.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Obviously I've never met a plumber because this is what
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: I assume that they're doing.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Yeahah, whish I knew more plumbers. We don't know.

  Speaker 2: get somewhere. Yeah, somewhere labor. That's not going to blue
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: collar homies yet.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Right. So, the last time that they heard from Becky
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: and Andrew, which is the name of the airbnb hosts,
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: they sent a strange message on Airbnb asking that I
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: give them no less than a five star review since
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Airbnb had changed its algorithm and communicate all concerns privately.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: So now they're like, hey, we know we didn't let
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: you stay in the place that we told you we
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: have for you that doesn't exist. Then we sent you
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: to the hood to search for a place that murderers
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: live in. Then we kicked you out.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but go ahead and get that five stuff.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: So they could keep the Sam scam going, right, man,
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: that's real Christy.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: So what did they do?
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: What happened next?
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: So on Airbnb, there's this intimidation factor and I recently
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: dealt with this when after my birthday party, I did
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: rent an Airbnb out, but I rented went out that
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: was four parties, like a mansioned four parties that specifically
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: said that they did parties and music video shoots.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: I was trying to go in it.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. He started running it like the club.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: He had a gate clicker. He was at my party
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: the entire time. He was drinking my food, he was eating,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: he was using the photo booth. It was crazy.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: It was it was just.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: White man, and he was taking pictures of me the
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: whole time and all my friends. Obviously we're in an
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: entertainment industry, so many people were there who are on
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: TV or working you know, movie and television film.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: He's taking unsolicited photos of them. Just a mad at a.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Party, just like a lot of cool Hollywood young people
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: and this really old white man skulking around. I was
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: trying to be welcoming because we definitely were over the
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: guest quota, even though we were quiet and everyone was
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: really just having a good time. But he was like
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: really being stingy with how he would let people in
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: and out of the house. I was just trying to
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: keep him happy, and he was so creepy and so racist.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: We had a food truck.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: The neighbors were like, that smells ethnic, Like literally texted
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: him and said that it smelled ethnic.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: They had not cooked anything yet.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: It was crazy craziness could because you know, it was
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: like it's the Hills, so it's like racist, like old
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: school white people. And I could tell that they didn't
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: even like that he would do these airbnb functions because
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: they're all old and just like want the neighborhood to
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: stay quiet and white, right, And he over here bringing
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: in you know, negroes every other Thursday, and they're probably
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: mad about it.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was crazy.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: But he intimidated me basically, being like you had too
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: many people here. If you give me a negative review,
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a really negative review and like, I please.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Write a review of like being kind about it.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Like he was like otherwise, I'm gonna charge you more
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: money for the extra people that you had. And I
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: had tried to offer to pay him more money because
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I knew more people were coming.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: He wouldn't even take it.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: So it's crazy, like if the premise he you know
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: he does parties here, Yeah, it's like he, I mean,
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: he of course he knows it's gonna be more people coming,
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Like he probably just was like.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: I didn't even know he was gonna be there.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: He's probably I'm gonna stay here and see if a
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: lot of people come in and charge.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Well, he kept acting like he didn't live there, just
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Nick lived in the house. That was one of those
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: situations where you get there you think you're gonna get
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: the place, and like he lives there and is currently
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: living there. He had been spoken cigarettes all through the house.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I did walk clean. Then when I came back, it
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: was like he was like cigarettes.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I he is like a bad roommate. He's like a
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: bad stepdad. It's like this stepdad living there ruin everything.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Tat he's in the photo booth and.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: You know people are in swim Stones for the July.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: He taking pictures of my hot friends.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: I'm like, they're like, who is this man?
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: Lacy? Yeah?
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: Also, how come he guys' amenty fourth July plans either.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Creep on creep.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: But yeah, he intimidated me, and I just never even
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: wrote a review because I was so upset about it.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: I couldn't visit it. But he wrote kind of like
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: a weird review about me. So it is a thing
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: of like your force. Like basically airbnbs have better reviews
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: than hotels and trip Advisor just because people are so
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: afraid that if you tank my rating, I'll tank yours,
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: vice versa, and then I can't rent at another place.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: It's like Uber, I give like every Uber five stars,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: even like one time I gave an uber three stars
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: because he smelled really bad.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: He smelled so.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: Fucking bad that I was like, I can't give you
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: five stars. And then I put car smelled. That was
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: a thing you could put. It was a preset button.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, it was like this is the problem.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: It was like, why are you even three stars? And
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: then it was like is it car smelled? I was
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: like why, yes.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Wow, So you're right though, it's kind of like it
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: cancels itself out because it's like I don't want to
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: get a bad No one's gonna pick me up, right,
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: you give it, but it's like it's a double and
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: like no one's being honest, so right.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: And I had to learn, like I tipped sometimes like
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: if they do a really good job, or if they
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: like break a certain amount of traffic laws. Like I
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: had an Uber driver recently drive through a parking lot
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: to avoid going through a light, and I was like,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: my nigga, like and so I tipped himsel I was
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: like I would have did the same thing.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: I would have droven this parking lot.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: I know. I always wonder when an Uber driver does that,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: if they're like thinking in their head, like I wonder
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: if this person's gonna be cool with this because I'm
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: gonna do some crazy I love it. Yeah, I'll be
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: like cool, like hell, yeah, let's do it. But then
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: you know, the wrong person might be Like I know.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: But I moved from New York, so I'm used to
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: the cabs just being illegal. I had a cab driver once,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: like we smoked, we with him in the cab.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: That's nice, you know what I was thinking. So so
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: you're at least they let you do the party. Because
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: when I try to do a party like that, and
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: then but I would tell them in the email that
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: I was trying to do a party at the house
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: and I would never get a I felt like that
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: they were being racist, like they wouldn't let me.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: That's another big thing about Airbnb is like they have
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: kind of this installation of racism, especially when it comes
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: to black gusts. Yeah, a lot of times if I'm
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: going with a group, I'll have like the white person
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: book the Airbnb, or I'll like change my profile photo
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: to like a white woman, or like it's gonna get
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: harder now the more that I start working entertainment. But
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: I've really been trying to pretend that I was white
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: a lot.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: You just got to put Paul left Tompkins out there.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Then Paul up talks might be getting too close to
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: black people. They'll be like, I don't know about Paul
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: might bring some me.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Just like it put his service out there. It's like,
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: if you need to get an Airbnb, I'll do it
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: for you. And then he got in trouble for doing
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: it so much. They're like, no, that motherfucker always break.
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: Up black people called white face.
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: Do you know what to do?
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: You can represent the black community?
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: And I did.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: I love you Paul some of all today. But yeah,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: so I understand this. We've completely like diverged off of this, but.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: Back to it.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: So when I asked about the status of my refund,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: they ghost. It makes sense like you're asking for money,
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: they are not going to give it to you, which
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: led to me contacting Airbnb. Though I had moved to
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: the flop house and was told to leave early, Airbnb
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: only refunded me three hundred and ninety nine dollars of
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: my twelve hundred and twenty one dollars, and only after
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: I badgered a number of case managers over the course
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: of several days, unable to shake the sense that there
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: was more of a run out of a mill host
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: kind of incident. I started to look into the red
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: flags that I might have missed. So when she starts
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: looking into it.
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: She's like.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Some of the positive reviews on Becky and Andrew Chicago
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Rental seemed odd, especially those left by other pairs of
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: hosts like Kelsey and jan For example, they said Becky
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: and Andrew, which Becky just is not anybody's real name.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, your name is Rebecca, but like Becky is fake,
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Like I said, what do I say? Guys, Every Matthew
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: is a scam. Every Becky is also a scam. Ad
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Becky to the list of scam names. So Becky and
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Andrew were awesome and communicative guests, they say. Gene and
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: Kelsey say that they stayed with Becky and Andrew, but
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Gene and Kelsey owned two properties in Chicago as well,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: basically meaning that they went on a staycation up the
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: street to.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why it don't make sense if it was Chicago
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: art in the flophouse. So maybe maybe things are coming together.
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: We all live in Chicago, but we write reviews on
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: other Chicago properties. That's my weird Like, I'm not gonna
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: do a staycation at an Airbnb in Chicago if I
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: have Airbnb's in Chicago, unless like it's like la, like
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: if you have a mansion and I'm doing something special,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: but these are just regular houses, right, Yeah, So that's
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: already kind of weird even stranger. Kelsey and Jean's photo
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: also had been cribbed from a travel site, and the
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: language that they used to describe their home West Sloop.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: Sixth bed Getaway Walk the City seemed familiar to that
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: of Becky and Andrew, which was six bed Downtown wicker
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Park Walk the City.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the language is a little close.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: It wasn't long before I found what looked like an
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: awful lot, like the apartment that I originally had booked
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: with Becky and Andrew, the one on Northwood Street listed
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: by Kelsey and Jean as well. There was no mistaking it.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: The couch, coffee table, dining room set, even the Chicago
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: gas station wall all the same. Yeah, so she said,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: I started to wonder, Wow, Right, so this is like
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: a network people who are doing this and they're all
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: running it from one business account.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: So we got to take them down.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: Right, So.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Right, look Airbnb taking them down. Airbnb has not said anything.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: They're about to go public. They were like time for this.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: Were trying to sell these shares, Yeah, Airbnb, We're trying
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: to sell these shares of other people's homes that we
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: connect people to.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like what is their business? They're just what.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Are they They're just a middleman.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just like they're basically like the like we
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: were described, like, I don't have a house, but I'm
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: gonna take you to another house, right the.
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: Guy who broke into that house to give you the key.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: Is literally so I guess I didn't get scammed.
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: No, that's literally what Airbnb does.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: And it's crazy because if you use airb you know
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: that if you try to contact the seller directly, like
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Airbnb don't play that shit. Like if you type in
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: the email, Airbnb will snatch the it'll like bleep out
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: the email.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, Yeah, you.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: Can't type in an email because then like they have
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: a system that'll that can tell if you've typed in
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: any kind of contact info and then they bleep that
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: shit out because they're like, no, you have to communicate
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: on our website. You have, like because they don't want
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: you cutting out their fees and everything just because you've
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: connected with the people, which.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: I thought was wild And I was like, is it
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: a way for me to get around this?
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: And then put my number in between each word like two,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: what's up, y'all?
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: I really like this place? Five if y'all like.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: There has to be a way around. Wow, that's what
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: That's what my brain goes to. But yeah, so Airbnb
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: is just a fucking middleman. So it seems as if
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: like one person or group had created numerous phony accounts
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: to run a much larger Airbnb operation. If that proved true, admit,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: whoever ran the five accounts I'd located was controlling at
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: least ninety four properties in eight different cities.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Wow, ninety yeah, damn, that's like Dady probably really making
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: some money then, yeah, by making a lot of money.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Probably very busy when he was like when she was like,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: can I talk to you on the phone, and he
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm at my employment. Like He's like, I'm
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: scamming other people right now. Okay, I don't have time.
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: I got Yeah, I have eight ninety properties. Yeah, it's
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: like I'm scamming. I'm too busy to help with the
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: scam I'm doing currently because I got so many scams.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: Because I'm running so many scams.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: This is a business, it's an employment.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: He was like, look, I have people about to show
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: up to the place that I told you ain't working
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: right now, so I got to go let them down.
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: Do you so is it better to just go to
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: the hotel? Is that what I should do?
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: I think?
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: So you can actually get discounts and upgrade, don't have
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: to worry about there being a woman there, a cat,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: three rats, someone.
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: Breaks you into the airbnb.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. There's no pets in.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: There, an elusive bottle of soy sauce, a whole punched.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: In a wall. It'll be crazy. If I go to
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: a hotel going out of town next month and if
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: there's like a bottle so sitting there, I'm gonna probably
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: freak out.
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: That's like that's the new get out.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I know, but yeah, I'm gonna stick to hotels.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: I like hotels.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: I do too.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, everything's gross, but I feel like a
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: hotel at least you go someone is like competently cleaning
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: it and everything. Like you can have cleaning services, but
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: it just doesn't feel its legitimate. At least, say the hotel.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: They have rules, they have a structured way that they
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: clean things.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: There's like a routine, yeah, like someone's check it, like
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: and they really be trying to clean. Because when I
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: be in hotels, they be like even when I don't
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: want them to come in, They're constantly trying to come
• 51:39

  Speaker 1: Girl, I'm not going to do your rounds. But ship
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: oh man.

  Speaker 3: So this story continues.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: There's so many instances of like creepy like people who
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: she contacted who were like I had the same situation
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: happened to me, Like I came to the place. It
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: wasn't how it was advertised. It was creepy and dirty.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: And the French who looked like I had been picked
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: up off the street. The couches were tattered and burned
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: by cigarettes.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that killed me.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: And it's just killing.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Cigarette on the couch and putting it out on the couch.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: You are a wild ship.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: My mom would kill me. She won't even let me
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: eat on the couch, like eat around it.
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: Around it, not in the vicinity, the general area. And
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I can't look at the couch while I'm eating, you
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? For fear, But that's that's I
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: just want to know the type of motherfucker who's out
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: here putting cigarette butts out on the couch, because.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: That is it's a certain type of person. I feel
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: like I know that person. You feel like, yeah, but
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: you know, I cut that person.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Out of my life, cut off no more.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: I'm very glad that you cut this person out of
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: her life, Lamark, because if I found if I saw
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: you with a man who was smoking and putting them
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: out on for her to try to be concerned.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: One day, I'm going to run into him. I'm going
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: to be like, how's it going. He's gonna say I
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: quit smoking, and then we'll be friends again. Maybe.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: So this is just a very long article about how
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: she continues to find people who have been a part
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: of this scam. Airbnb is kind of at this like
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: standstill where they're refusing to do anything about it. She
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: thinks that the scam is actually coming from a place
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: called Abbot Pacific, and so she had contacted Abbot Pacific
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: to see like because it basically it was an upscale
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: corporate rental company, but then some people were taking tours
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: and all of the rentals were really like run down properties.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: That were at the same address that he had listed
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: that the upscale properties were at. So she starts to
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: think that she's onto the guy. Right she goes. I
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: repeatedly tried to reach out to him on his cell
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: phone to no avail, so I decided to call Abbot Pacific,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: the company he ran. According to LinkedIn, the company's website
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: only listed a Google number, which I called repeatedly and
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: on a Wednesday in October before leaving a voicemail explaining
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: that I needed to speak with Joel. The next day,
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: I emailed Joel on his personal Gmail. She is listen
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: the petty levels here. This is peak petty. This is
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: she has taken on a full time job.
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, she got her employment. Now must is she's doing it.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: It's drinking twelve cups of coffee a day. She's picked
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: up a smoking habit. She's like got so many papers
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: and she's driving around like a chevell. Yeah, just for
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: some reason. She lives in but in the park, right,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: she lives in LA But everywhere she goes it's gray,
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: cold and rainy. I don't know how just in her car,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like she's an intense.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: He's really doing it. I'm really impressed. I could never
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: do any I could never go through all that.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: So she emails him and she says, the man starts
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: to pepper me with questions about this piece because so
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: he goes, I googled you very briefly, and it seems
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: like you write generally negative things. So I'm trying to
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: figure out how I can help. So now he's like, girl,
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: I'll see you out here.
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is there any chance that the company could someone
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: could be doing this under the company and the company
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: and I know it.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: You think it goes all the way to the top,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: But like a good scammer knows how to figure that out.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's just him. It says
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: he runs this company, this LLC. I mean, I have
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: an LLC. It's very easy to get an LLC, so
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: he very well could just be running this game.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So recently, the FBI has reached out to our
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: girl out that's her name, right, Ali. Yeah, So the
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: FBI has reached out to her about these scams, but
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: she has yet to hear anything from Airbnb at this point.
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: So after reaching out to Airbnb several times, I'm really
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: not getting any help, like she still in contact with
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: this guy. She offered to email him links to the
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: Airbnb accounts that he was she was referring to that
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: she thought were fraudulent, but he never gave her an
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: email address, saying that he had a pad and pen
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: to take them down, which would presumably be first in
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: human history. Like, who has ever written down a website?
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: He's like, no, I got a pad in paper? Okay,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: what's website? W W dot?
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: Oh wait?
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: The four was slash two forward slashes, air come slash
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: q R T one one zero J two bungalow apart
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Like what, no one's.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: Writing this down?
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: So then she says, oh, and I should tell you
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: this happened to me. Several seconds of silence passed before
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: the man responds, this makes more sense now.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: After hanging up.
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: I messaged Chris and Becky's account, the fake one, and
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: asked for Joel to call me because I was writing
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: an article. It was around three pm in New York City. Hi, Ali,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: think you might be mistaken, they wrote back four hours later.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: Are you looking to book the home? I already ran
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: the scam on her.
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: I know that's funny.
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: That's how you know because it's like they during so
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: such scambo that they're like it's like almost in the loop,
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: like they just can't not be scamming.
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: Also, I feel like that it must be Joel, because
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: nobody responds to a question that they don't know the
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: answer to, like I think you might be mistaken. I
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: mean I would just be like who is Joel?
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, like, yeah, I think you might be mistaken.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: Joel's sent over the type of like what's gonna make
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: it sound like.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: This take twenty minutes, I'm say taken for it might
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: be mistaken? And then then.
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: And then I'm gonna say, are you looking to book
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: the home?
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: We legitimately are call it home, like anybody legit will
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: call it at home.
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: Okay, I'm.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: So the man who called himself Patrick never got back
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: to her. So so Joel was going by so many
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: different names, right, never got back to me with more
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: information about the disconnect or put me in touch with
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Joel as he said he would, I again email. Basically
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: this goes on and eventually she goes onto the website,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: the Pacific LLC, and it's gone.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: Wow, thought so that she's probably scared him, and then
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: they took it down right right.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: They were like, we gotta start to delete our papers.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: We are too easily.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: First website, get rid of the website. That's the first.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: Why do we even have a website for our scalm company?
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: That was stupid. You told me we needed outreach, said
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: social media was the future.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if it was real, if this was a real company,
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: then we would need a website.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: This is crazy. So I mean, this is still a
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: developing story. So if there's an update, we'll give you one.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: But the FBI is looking into this now. I'm so
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: fascinated to see.
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't wait to see what happens.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: But shout out to Ali for being just petty though.
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: Elly was keeping it real thorough for the truth. Attention
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: to detail, that's my biggest weakness. Like when I was
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: I was getting my job and I did a review
• 59:24
  Speaker 2: on me, they were like, you're good at a lot
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: of things, but you don't have good attention to detail.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: Everything happening, coffee all over this.
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: I don't detail Alli did.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: But all right, guys, that reasons at the end of
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: this episode where I always ask people where do you
