Is this a scam?

Hi Haseeb,

It appears that the listing is indeed listed with Airbnb and that the host has been verified based on their Hosting profile:

While the listing appears to be legitimate, it's important to always communicate and make payments through Airbnb's official platform. Avoid direct transactions with hosts outside of Airbnb to protect yourself from potential scams. If you have any concerns, Airbnb's Help Center provides resources on how to identify and report suspicious activity.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Upfish Management

Hi @Haseeb22, thank you for reaching out to our community for advice.

I wanted to share that I had to remove the link to a Host's profile/listing as we do not allow our Community members to post identifiable information due to safety and privacy reasons as per our Community Center Guidelines.

There's a popular thread in our Community Center where an experienced Host has shared some useful tips to identify if a listing is authentic. Scam alert! How can I make sure a listing is real? 

I hope this helps.
