Scam?

[Michelle4202]

Is this external link a scam? The link does not take me to the Airbnb app and I cannot find the apartment in the app. Is there a way to list homes privately?

Hi @Michelle4202  where does the link take you to?  No you can't list homes privately.

Hi @Michelle4202 👋

Here's an article from the Help Center that answers the question How do I know if an email or website is really from Airbnb? 

A real link to Airbnb will begin with https://www.airbnb.com or a country-specific URL like https://es.airbnb.com, https://it.airbnb.com, https://www.airbnb.com.at, or https://www.airbnb.co.uk. If you click a link that takes you to a page that looks like Airbnb but doesn’t start with this address, it’s a fraudulent page and you should close it.

If it doesn't feel right or if you believe you've encountered a web page designed to look like Airbnb, let us know by reporting the website’s URL at https://www.airbnb.com/report-phishing. This page is only for reporting suspicious websites—it doesn’t create an Airbnb help request or send you a confirmation. If you interacted with a fraudulent site or are concerned about the security of your account, contact us instead.
