Hi all
I have now received and reported two similar enquiries received by my listing. In each case, the "guest" has only just joined Airbnb and has no verifications or profile details. The guests say they would like to book, but are concerned because they have seen my property details listed by another host. They include a link to what purports to be the other listing. However, this does not look like a real Airbnb property listing address, so I have not clicked on it. Checking through the normal Airbnb screens, there does not appear to be anyone trying to clone my property.
I have reported both to Airbnb, but have not (yet) received any reply. Assuming these enquiries are an attempt to infect with a virus or some other scam through the link, perhaps the answer is for Airbnb not to allow enquiries until the member's ID has been verified.
Has anyone else received a similar enquiry and, if so, what did you do about it?
