I just got an inquiry from a guest for March, max number of guests, max days we permit (so it was a lucrative booking.) Guest had just joined in November 2020 and had no verifications or reviews.
They claimed they wanted to book the listing but said it was listed elsewhere for less, and sent me a link to the supposed listing asking where they should book and what the price would be. It was some kind of Facebook post with a picture of our cottage advertising it at half price. I couldn't see the whole profile or more information because I am not registered on FB and they only give you a preview before the question comes up to register or sign in.
Airbnb sent me a message asking me if this looked suspicious (it did) so I got a pop up to decline and I did.
So are people just stealing your images now and creating fake FB pages with lower prices to try and get you to honor them? This is a new one on me.
