Warning about Airbnb Scam in Valencia,Spain

Warning about Airbnb Scam in Valencia,Spain

Yesterday I received this link to make a reservation for a place in Valencia, Spain:

From this email: **

 

The most clear sign that this isn't a legitimate link to Airbnb is that the domains name is misspelled. It's written with an l instead of an i so that its hard to notice at first glance.

 

I just wanted to get this out there to as much people as possible so that they know about this scam and so that they don't have to waste time like I had to checking and verifying whether this was legitimate or not.

 

I already reported this link with customer service and reported and blocked this email in Gmail. If there is anything else that I can do to stop this scammer please let me know.

Hi @Nicolas1813 

 

Thanks for reporting the scam listing to Airbnb, and for pointing out how you were able to identify this wasn't a legitimate listing.  It's really appreciated!
