Yup, fraud like this is exactly what chargebacks are for. Companies don't listen to anything but money. AirBNB counts on you being a pushover and not disputing the charge. I don't understand this "Well they charged my credit card so there's nothing I can do!" attitude.

Just be aware that a chargeback is an instant bridge-igniter with the company or platform you’re filing it against, most considering it a breach of the TOS and banning your account.
They don't have controls to notice if you sign up with a different email and use a different card.
As proof, just look at how many fraudsters do so.
Who cares what a company trying to defraud you thinks about you taking action against it? Really.
