Shray Goel 和 Shaunik Raheja 的詐騙行為
On January 4, 2024, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California announced indictments of two individuals–Shray Goel and Shaunik Raheja–in connection with a fraudulent scam that the two operated on Airbnb and Vrbo.
As alleged by the USAO, the scheme operated in 2018 and 2019 at properties in:
- Los Angeles, CA
- Malibu, CA
- Marina Del Rey, CA
- Denver, CO
- Chicago, IL
- Davenport, FL
- Savannah, GA
- Bloomington, IN
- South Bend, IN
- Cleveland, OH
- Nashville, TN
- Austin, TX
- Dallas, TX
- Milwaukee, WI
According to the indictments, Shray Goel and Shaunik Raheja allegedly double-booked properties using multiple listings of the same property on Airbnb and Vrbo, then invented last-minute excuses to cancel overbooked guests and move them to replacement accommodations.
