Scammer alert

Hello,

 

I just want you all to be aware of this latest scam.  I've reported it to AirBnB and thought I would post here for others. 

My sister who has an AirBnb in another state received the exact message a few days ago.

 

I just received the following request from Mira:

This is a very common type of scam that I receive a lot. SImply tell them that Airbnb rule prohibits communication outside Airbnb it should shut them up. Also report to Airbnb for spam.
