Hello Airbnb hosts
My hosting account was hacked back in September of 2019, I'm guessing during a reported system wide security breach when hosts were able to see other hosts information. My payout information was switched to a fake PayPal account with an unresolved domain name.( batterhome.com)
The hacker was able to switch OFF all the push notifications, as they switched payments between my bank account and this PayPal account several times over the course of October and November. I received no notifications to my email, each time the switch happened. When I ran my quarterly report end of Dec, is when I noticed this. Upwards of 15K has been redirected to this fake account
I have contacted PayPal and had them close that account
I have been calling airbnb everyday, and they keep saying the case is being handled by Trust and Security. No real answers or responses from this team.
Has anyone else seen something like this and what actions have you taken to recover the stolen money. Is there any recourse?
I assume I am not the only one this has happened to
I look forward to hearing anything from the community
