Complaint Review: NYC Private Bedrooms

The warning message is about an agency called NYC Private Bedrooms, located at 132 West 131st Street, Suite 1516, between 6th & 7th Avenues, in Midtown. NYC Private Bedrooms is operated by Modesto Esterlin Martinez, a Dominican Male (Google his name).

While I was at his sleazy office, COPS came by because they were investigating a scamming complaint from earlier that same day! Turns out this Martinez bird takes a fee, then just sends the victim to another SCAMMER agency known as American Plaza @ Broadway & 160th Street. That SCAMMER wants an ADVANCE FEE too! Don’t fall for it.

If you were scammed by this CON ARTIST, do this: Go back to 132 West 31st Street, 15th floor, stay in the hallway by elevator, call 911, tell operator you want COPS at that location so you can file a Scheme To Defraud report. While COPS are there, they will get you your money back.

If you’re looking in Manhattan: NYC Private Bedrooms has no rooms for rent. In their most recent scam, NYC Private Bedrooms collects an advance fee of $150.00 at their 132 West 131st Street office, then they just send you to another uptown Manhattan office called American Plaza where you think you’ll see some rooms. When arriving at American Plaza, you’ll find out that American Plaza is simply another scam room agency that has nothing to do with NYC Private Bedrooms. Therefore you’ll be required to pay another advance fee of $150.00, and if you’re BLACK they will not send you to any rooms! NYC Private Bedrooms doesn’t tell you that another $150.00 advance fee is payable when they send you to American Plaza because you’ll know there and then, that they’re ripping you off for their advance fee.

If you’re looking in Brooklyn or Queens: NYC Private Bedrooms has no rooms for rent. In their most recent scam, NYC Private Bedrooms collects an advance fee of $150.00 at their 132 West 131st Street office, then the victim is given a website address in order to get the list of rooms. Thereafter, when the victim logs in to the website, receives the list of rooms and contacts the owners, they find out that the list of rooms were simply taken off the internet without the owner’s permission, and that the rooms were rented, weeks ago.

NYC Private Bedrooms and Modesto Esterlin Martinez employ a variety of scams to rip off the public, including but not limited to, schemes where Martinez uses phony business and website names in order to avoid having to answer the many consumer complaints involving his fraudulent business activities; schemes where bogus images of beautiful rooms for rent are copied from the internet and used by these phony businesses in order to ensnare desperate room seekers; and schemes to collect an advance fee at one of his offices, then Martinez simply refers the room seeker to another one of his offices where another advance fee is collected!
