My listing is apparently on another site..

Hi,

I recieved this unsettling message from a guest request today.  The link is blocked so I've asked them to write it out:

Hi Monica,

Did you post your studio on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)? If yes, I'd love to talk to you about subletting it for the summer! If not (and something tells me you didn't), you should know that someone has posted the apartment on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN):

(URL HIDDEN)

Best,

Jesse

Has as this happened to anyone else??

Many thanks,

Monica

Seen it happen often on Craigslist.  Scammers screen grab your photos to make fake listings at very cheap prices.  Then ask for deposits up front.  You can only go to these sites and attempt to alert the site of the scam listing.

@Monica66 This is probably a scam email and I hope you didn't go to the  site mentioned  to take a look.  If you did, contact Airbnb right away as your account may have been compromised.  It's a common phishing tool to pick up your account information.  In the meantime, check your notification settings for receiving messages from Airbnb and guests and, importantly, receiving notifications of logins from a device you don't use.  After that, change your password.  Here's how to contact Airbnb:

You should read this post and replies as the situation sounds similar to yours.
