Dear
people,
the
company
SoBeNY
(sobenewyork.com)
has
scammed
us
all.
They
offer
accommodation
where
they
rent
in
if
they
have
enough
people
booking.
Once
you
book
accommodation
in
SoBeNY
Harald
Square,
"The
Blakely
New
York"
charges
your
credit
card,
which
I
guess
is
also
run
by
SoBeNY.
The
Harald
Square
property
is
no
longer
offered
on
Booking.com
because
the
scam
has
been
busted.
Remember,
you
are
not
alone.
Together
we
will
get
our
rights!
It
is
important
that
we
stick
together
now.
My
recommendation:
Collect
all
your
correspondence
with
Booking.com
and
the
accommodation,
the
booking
confirmation,
the
credit
card
statement
with
the
charge
and
the
cancellation
confirmation.
Contact
your
credit
card
provider
and
file
a
claim/chargeback
as
soon
as
possible.
Go
to
SoBeNY
Blakely
Stays
New
York
and
write
reviews
about
the
incident.
They
have
already
done
the
same
thing
there.
We
can
protect
others
there
too.
As
a
US
citizen,
visit
the
NYS
Attorney
General's
website
(ag.ny.gov)
and
file
a
complaint
there.
As
a
non-US
citizen,
we
need
to
email
the
NYS
Attorney
General's
office.
UPDATE:
booking.com
tries
to
shift
the
blame
to
the
customers.
Documents
every
email
communication
with
booking.com.
booking.com
also
deletes
all
messages
sent
to
SoBeNY.
This
means
that
booking.com
is
trying
to
cover
up
their
fault.
If
we
don't
get
our
money
back
in
30
days,
we
can
file
a
lawsuit
against
booking.com.
Give
this
post
a
thumbs
up
so
it
can
be
found
quickly.
