Doe’s ordeal began on December 23, 2024, when she attempted to book accommodations through Airbnb for herself, her husband, and their daughter, along with her two other siblings, according to a complaint filed Monday in Ft. Myers federal court.
Doe had used Airbnb before, without a problem, Boroosan said, explaining that credit card issuers, employers, landlords, and companies like Airbnb run checks on customers, staffers, tenants, and renters every so often in order to make sure their intel stays current.
In a panic, the complaint says Doe requested a copy of the report in question, and was “shocked and humiliated” to find her two expunged felonies, the details of which are not in the complaint, had been included.
