Airbnb has a scary problem on their hands: People keep finding hidden cameras in their rental homes and its creeping everyone out.
Another host was busted last month trying to film guests without their knowledge — marking the second time since October that the company has had to publicly deal with this sort of incident.
Officials have been forced to ban account users in the past for deploying secret cams around their houses.
Jason Scott, tweeted out a picture on Nov. 27 of a hidden device that he found while staying in an undisclosed Airbnb. He left at 3am, reported, host is suspended, and got refund.
In response, Airbnb released a statement saying they had “permanently banned” the homeowner and “supported our guests with a full refund and reimbursement for expenses incurred.”
In October, a couple from Indiana found a hidden camera in the master bedroom of the Florida Airbnb they were staying in. It had been disguised as a smoke detector.
