Hi @Gloria1178, as I see this is a real Airbnb listing, why do you think it is a scam?

Regards.

Hi, thank you for replying. I thought it was a scam because the host is new and has no reviews. Also, the property seems to be too good for the price. I am scared of turning up and then having no place to stay; I’ve seen a lot of this happen recently so I’m sceptical.

Hi @Gloria1178, 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.
