Potential Scam **

[Lisa7403]

We are new to Airbnb. Since we opened up a few months ago we have had three requests ** requesting to rent our entire Inn for several months. The guests are new to Airbnb, no review and no photos. The first one was flagged by Airbnb as a scam and the person was removed from the platform. The second one I tried to engage in dialogue and they never responded and now the third person is asking for videos of the Inn. This person just joined Airbnb this month and has no reviews. A bit of background - our very first guest came ** and stayed at our Inn for one night (we are in rural NH), and they trashed the place. Vomited on the bedding, the walls, ruined the dining table and left the house wide open - doors and windows- with the heat on. We did get some reimbursement, but you can imagine why I am skeptical of people who don't engage in conversations or have previous reviews. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone else is fielding request ** for longer stays.

I got many of those Chinese requests. I knew that they are scam! From now on, I would just use a robot to answer them and send them special offer that is way higher than regular rental.

Another things I thought about is that they are trying to mess with our superhost status. It’s such a waste of time to try to answer them.

 They kept coming with the same line. Always check their Identity if they check in.

I constantly received Chinese spam request and also always for long term, I don't want to waste my energy to hang it around. Just report and block those. They always have a very non-sense question.  for example, "Hello, is it easy to park?" I live in a rural area, plenty of parking in my property. Very easy from my pictures too. That's pretty much telling me that they are gonna scam me.
