A disgruntled Boy Scout leader from Georgia took to Twitter last week to alert others about a fake Airbnb he booked on Big Pine Key that turned out to be the location of an empty lot.
Scott Mulkey is the leader of scout troops 506 and 5506, according to the New York Post, and booked the location to bring scouts down to partake in the Keysâ outdoor activities. But upon arrival, he posted photos on social media showing that the structure shown in photos on the Airbnb ad didnât even exist.
A photo on his Twitter showed that the supposed address of the rental, 31565 Avenue A, is nothing but brush. According to the Monroe County Property Appraiserâs office, the lot is owned by the Florida Keys Community Land Trust. A photo from the appraiserâs website shows an empty lot.
