I have already tried reaching Airbnb about this through other means, but with no success.
I have been receiving unsolicited SMS messages and contact requests regarding hosting, however I have no apartments or anything to rent.
When I tried adding my phone number to my account, and after inputing the 4-digit confirmation code that I was sent and received right in front of me, the form just shows me the error that my phone number is being used in another account, and that I could remove it from that account or add a new one.
Wel... that will be a bit hard since that account is NOT mine...
And even though the code was sent to me, and I received it right in front of me, still Airbnb considers that I'm not the owner of that number? What?
