@Bonnie141 they might be planning to steal from the house. Other than that I can't figure out the scam but it is likely to be one!

@Bonnie141 @Mike-And-Jane0   Yep, I'm with Mike and jane, imagine a video showing everything about the place, every entrance, window, exit, all appliances and everything - what better way to plan - people only imagine from the outside - but from the inside its a completely different story. We just know Airbnb is built on trust between all parties and if they they can't be happy with the photos - I'd say NO WAY! Plus sending a video, could maybe give them some computer access or code that they use??? Who knows, folks are mighty busy out there making up the next scam. So we have to be diligent and stand strong. No is our best defense in this case I'd say.

You wouldn't be able to send them a video if no reservation is confirmed...
