Massive credit card fraud with AIRBNB charges

This morning I received a call from my Bank in Asuncion, Paraguay. They told me that they have some credit card suspicious charges . One of the charges was blocked and the other two were charged into my credit card on March 1st and 5th.

 

The three were AIRBNB charges in UK.  I blocked my credit card and ask for the reimbursment of the charges. 

 

My concern is that this is not an isolated case , apparently there are being lots of unauthorized charges to credit cards all with AIRBNB as counterparty.

It seems that this is an organized action  to affect AIRBNB customers.

 

Is AIRBNB aware of this situation have they taken any actions to protect customers?

 

Regards

Santiago

@Santiago217  ,

I think the Bank or credit card company should inform Airbnb also.

This is a community of hosts, not Airbnb itself

But at least we are warned  !

Best regards,
