Is this a SCAM?

[Nishan25]

Hi everyone, I was looking a long term lease at this place. The owner said that before I sign a long term lease she would give me a two weeks trial to see how I would keep the place through Airbnb. She said the trial would be free but I would have to pay a security deposit of $950 using bitcoins. At this time I already was suspicious but she sent me her reservation through email. This is the link which I think is fake. What do you all think? https://airbnb.apartment-reservation.com/1/listing/66/view-sxr3g908/fgcpFu1xXA.

@Nishan25   Yes that is most definitely a scam. Just look at that URL - it's a fake site, not even on the Airbnb platform! And of course a scammer would want the deposit in bitcoins, since you'll never see those back again.

Beware, there are also some scammers operating under genuine Airbnb links, but not quite as sloppy as this one, Do a reverse image search and you'll quickly see, those photos were stolen from a Zillow listing:  https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/521-President-Clinton-Ave-APT-1108-Little-Rock-AR-72201/211389547...
