It happened last year when I spent 3 months in SPAIN.
I have never actually rented an airbnb property but I did browse the site many times when I was travelling. I usually logged in with my Facebook I.D. then I got a message from airbnb that if I wanted to continue I had to provide photo I.D. and register an account with airbnb. I filled out the online forms and provided a photo of my Colombian cedula.
Next day I got a message from airbnb saying I had violated the guidelines and was banned for life and they would not enter into any discussion about it!
So to get around this mysterious problem I registered an account in my wife's name. All was OK until I tried to pay with my credit card and payment was denied.
Well I thought f**k you airbnb ....lots of other website available.
Today I found out the REAL reason I was mysteriously banned for life.

AirBnb has software that sorts out which customers are psychopaths and narcissists. I tried to post the article but couldn't do it. Maybe someone can find the article and post it for me?

Barru, with 20% of Australians descended from British convicts, maybe airbnb developed an app to search for convict ancestry and your name showed up. A simple explanation, don't take it personally, I don't see the need to see a shrink.

Maybe this site will help. Pictures of Baru's potential convict ancestors. And a DNA test to disperse all doubt. blogs.ancestry.com.au/cm/10-common-crimes-committed-by-convicts/Convicted and shipped to Australia for stealing clothes of the washing line. The gallows for stealing a sheep.
Yeah, punishments well deserved. The good old days... 13 steps to the gallows, 13 coils on the noose.

I have no doubts regarding my ancestors history, it's easily traceable. My mothers family came directly from County Mayo, Ireland to San Francisco in 1848. The voyage took a year around the horn and the ship had a 30% mortality rate for that passage. As far as being a possible convict, they were not. My G-Grandfather became a U.S. Marshall in California. In fact my ancestors would have gladly chosen being Convicts over being called British.
