Cinque first came to me as an agent, wishing to rent my house for his clients in Miami Beach. He claimed he had a "nice family" ready to reserve my property for a nice quiet stay and yet needed them to put it on 5 different credit cards with a hokey story about how it was a surprise for the main guest. I took the bait. Even after I asked him repeatedly for their authorization forms and identification, and he continued to promise and not deliver. 

Fast forward to the last day of the rental and the "nice family" put on a huge event, including an incredibly loud dj, port-a-potty's! as well as several hundred people that had rsvp'd for the event. Instead the police were called, I received 11 violations from the City and realilzed I had been duped by complete scam artists, the main one of which was Cinque himself. 

Cinque or "Q" as he likes to call himself had prior knowledge of this massive event and not only allowed it to happen, showed up when the police were there to tell them he was the property manager and all of this was allowed, which, led to more fines and violations. Lies on top of lies with no regard for anyone elses well-being. 

Since that has occurred I have had little luck recouping the losses I incurred. A lot of promises to pay me back for the fines. A lot of promises to repay me for charge-back after fraudulent charge-back that came in. Instead what I received was small deposits, late and always less than what he promised. Of which I am still $8,000 in the hole and with countless headaches and problems because of it. Problems with the city, problems with the merchant account. 

He has switched phone numbers, he has blocked me. He has created a new company which steals it's name from mine, most likely for the purpose of defrauding others using my good name. Now I will recover from these losses, but I will not allow others to fall into the same scams he used on me and others. He will lie to you until he's blue in the face and turn around and do it to the next person and the next. 

His new company, Sobe Lifestyle Group is a "membership club" which asks for a startup fee and then an annual membership fee. There is nothing that he offers that cannot be obtained without this, further, proper licensing which he does not have is required to do this legally: freshfromflorida.com/Divisions-Offices/Consumer-Services/Business-Services/Travel-Sales

As he repeatedly informs me how broke he is, and unable to repay his debts, I would be very careful handing $1,000 over to him for him to run off with, especially considering his office address has changed twice now since opening this company in November. 

With his other company, he posts pictures of properties he has been repeatedly threatened with legal action to remove, at prices that are not accurate, to bait and switch and steal from the consumer. He has a history of fraud and it is only getting worse. 

Run, do not walk, if Cinque "Q" McKetty asks you for even a dollar. He is a scam artist of the lowest common denominator. A bottom feeder, a cheat, a liar. DO NOT TRUST HIM WITH ANY MONEY!!! He will continue to make false promises until he will disappear from the face of the earth. 

South Beach Hospitality Group, SoBe Lifestyle Group or anything affiliated with these companies must be deemed a complete scam.

Complaint Response

AUTHOR: Cinque - (United States)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 30, 2020

The above complaint has since been resolved. There are family members, close friends, business associates and clients that will testify to my good character, integrity and overall good nature. The gentleman who filed this complaint is a good man although highlighted on this website himself. Since writing this in 2016, the author Jamey can attest to being reimbursed by my client for the fines caused by the party.

Reflecting back I should have contacted Jamey immediately after learning about the party instead of attempting to disperse the crowd and resolve it on my own.   So, to address this complaint directly: We have many good reviews from clients all across the nation, and not a single bad one from former or current clients.   We have been in business for over 5 years, with no client complaints.

Despite this review we have experienced tremendous growth of which we are grateful for every client that has patronized our services and continued to believe in us.   Since this complaint I have continued to conduct myself with the highest degree of integrity, honest and trustworthiness.   I would encourage anyone reading this to to continue do your research. There are old friends, current associates and future clients reading this.

So with all of this said I’d like to leave this on a positive note.   Work towards achieving your goals every day and never let your past define your future. Your greatness will be in your service so go into the world and touch a life. If you have confidence in yourself and practice integrity and honesty I’m 100% positive that the universe will continue to bless you.
