Do not fall for this booking scam. Decline and report account immediately.

We just got the below 14 day booking and message:


”We would like to book your accomodation through the airbnb but we will not check in. A person is paid for accomodation, but he will live in another place. You will take 35% of the payment to yourself and send me 65% after recieving money. Telegram @Alanstory“

 

I declined and reported the account immediately.

 

Thanks

 

best regards

@Guy731  Wait, he wants you to send a telegram???  His copy of "Scamming for Dummies" must date back to World War II.

@Ann72  Telegram is a messaging app like KIK or WhatsApp...though that visual made me laugh!

@Danielle476  That was the intention!  😂

What is wrong with Morse Code if we really want to go full incognito.

@Ute42  I don't even have to click through to know it's one of the best "Fawlty Towers" episodes of all time!  🤣🤣🤣

Along with "The Argument"  😀

 

@Ute42 

 

"Would you please stop talking about the war?"

 

"Me?  You started it!"

 

"We did not start it!"

 

"Yes you did - you invaded Poland!"

I've seen it many times and every time I see it I'm laughing my a*** off. And I'm German!

 

@Ute42  I've seen it probably 50 times and I do the same every time.  I'm glad you find it funny!  I'm sorry about the "invaded Poland" quote lol

@Ann72 

 

That's the funniest part of it! 😂

I've got something else for You.

 

I have developed a Corona-Distance-Detector and I've reported about it in the german CC today:

@Ute42  ROTFL - but that's no joke indeed!

 

Canadians use hockey sticks.

 

The English say "two metres" - whatever that means.

 

Americans are trying to keep the whole idea of social distance secret from Trump supporters, in hopes they all kill each other off ASAP.

😊  Good night.
