Hi @CariandNate0 

I've not had direct experience with this, but there are other similar posts on these boards and it's some type of scam. I THINK they somehow aim to get access to your listing or your banking details if you go to the link and then make edit.

Ignore and report to airbnb if you easily can.

@CariandNate0  Never click on any links in a message. This is a scam and other hosts have reported receiving similar messages.

If you did click on the link, you should change your password right away and as Rowena said, report this to Airbnb.
