AirBnB​

SCAM! SCAM! SCAM! DO NOT BOOK - HE IS DEMANDING CASH TO CHECK IN We booked Serdar's apartment weeks in advance with no communication from him. We asked a questions about parking and he responded. The day we were checking in, we messaged Serdar with updates on our arrival time and asked for details on how to check in. We were ignored. We sent another message with less than 2 hours from when we were due to check in and Serdar replied 'if you pay cash I can give you flat'. He did not care that we had already paid via card, demanding that we either pay again in cash at the property or cancel the booking (which we would not get a refund for). Serdar left us having to find last minute accommodation and contacting Air BB to explain what had happened. Luckily, we have been given a full refund. DO NOT BOOK - SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSLE AND SCAM. Other comments are true - how have Air BB not removed his listings?!

This is a SCAM! Do not book any of Serdars apartments! Three hours before our check in he said that he could not accommodate us as he was not in the city and did not work with AirBnb anymore. In addition he tried to convince us to go through with the cancelation of the reservation so that we could not get a refund. Serdar is a dishonest person who should be banned from AirBnb forever.

Serdar is the worst host I have ever met. He was very rude and arrogant from the beginning and wanted to charge me extra 600€ in cash eventhough I've had already paid the booking fully. He claimed that AirBnB had taken a "weird discount" from the sum and he threatened to cancel the reservation. He then continued and tried us to cancel the reservation without any valid reason so that we would have been lost money for atleast one night. Luckily John from AirBnB helped us a lot and I got my money back in full. Also John tried to help us arrange a new place to stay providing a long list of available places to stay. John sincerely apologized for the host rude communication. I would highly recommend to stay away from this host. He was very unpleasent and rude and on top of everything he tried to charge us almost double the price of the reservation. Sincerely, Fikreta

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. Unpleasant host, without empathy, dishonest and certainly RACIST. Despite my paid reservation,at first the host was very reluctant to give me the address, after insistence he invited me to go to a search engine by just giving me the name of the residence. We agreed on one hour for check-in, check-in on time, after several unanswered messages and calls, the host responds by message and did not want to open on the pretext that he had a different one with Airbnb. He didn't hesitate to tell me that it wasn't his problem if my family and I were staying without a place to stay, he also threatened to call the police when I was just trying to understand why this situation. That's shameful! Only positive is the responsiveness of the Airbnb advisor who contacted the host and ended up canceling and refunding me the reservation.

Serdar Kaksi's conduct as an Airbnb host is alarming and potentially criminal. His pattern of behavior suggests a deliberate scam operation. He demands cash upon arrival, effectively double-charging guests, and frequently cancels bookings last-minute, leaving travelers stranded. Serdar ignores communication, causing unnecessary stress for guests, and has been accused of racial discrimination.

Most disturbingly, Serdar pressures guests to cancel their own reservations, a calculated move to prevent refunds and defraud customers. This tactic, combined with his double-charging scheme, paints a picture of a serial fraudster who shows no regard for his guests' well-being or finances.

It's baffling that Airbnb continues to allow Serdar's listings despite numerous complaints. Their inaction makes them complicit in his ongoing scams. Potential guests should avoid Serdar Kaksi's listings at all costs to protect themselves from financial loss, stress, and possible discrimination.

Company in Montenegro

This document reveals that Serdar Kaksi has also established a business in Montenegro, dealing with real estate rental and management. The company was founded in April 2022, which is more recent than the Turkish companies previously mentioned. The fact that the company is listed as "IN BLOCKADE" could indicate financial difficulties or legal issues, which might be relevant to the fraud allegations discussed earlier. This information further expands the picture of Serdar Kaksi's business activities, showing that he has international operations beyond Turkey. It's noteworthy that he has full ownership and executive control of this company as well.

Company in Turkey

This document shows that Serdar Kaksi is also associated with another company, Mars Küçük Ev Aletleri, which deals in home appliances, durable consumer goods, computers, and electronics. This company was registered about a year earlier than Fastbuy, in April 2017.

The presence of multiple companies under Serdar Kaksi's management, all dealing with consumer goods and electronics, aligns with the fraud allegations mentioned earlier. It suggests a pattern of creating legitimate-looking businesses that could potentially be used for fraudulent activities.

These official documents provide important context to the fraud accusations, showing that Kaksi has established multiple businesses in related fields, which could have been used as fronts for the alleged scams.

Victim Stories​

Hello,

We had an unpleasant incident with Serdar about 2 years ago. We were renting an apartment from him. Upon moving out, he was supposed to return our deposit. We initially agreed that he would bring it with him. During the move-out inspection, he checked the apartment, approved everything, but didn't give us the money. He said he forgot it and apologized profusely. He took down my crypto wallet details. He promised to transfer the crypto that evening. We had to leave, and I didn't insist. In the end, we never saw the money.

Also, while living in the apartment we were renting from him, we lost electricity. It turned out that the electricity bills hadn't been paid for many months, and there was a debt of about 500 euros. Serdar was supposed to pay for electricity - this was a condition in our agreement. I called him. He said he wasn't around and couldn't pay. He asked me to pay it. He said he would return the money that evening. In the end, he spent a whole week not bringing the money, making various excuses. He only brought the money when I wrote that I was going to the police.

Good luck in your fight against him.
