potential scam? - Asked to review a website
I just got an inquiry for September for 1 week. The guest asked if I speak French. I pre-approved the reservation and said yes.
Then I got this long story from them about how they love the US and are thinking of bringing their business here and asking if I would review their e-commerce site and give them advice. I would say that this is an obvious scam EXCEPT that this traveller has been a member since 2017 and has 12 good reviews.
I'm confused.
Thanks!

What an incredibly strange one. Wonder if this guest had their account hacked @Jillian136
Just ignore the request to review their site and if you can get through speak to Airbnb to check the booking is Kosher.

@Helen3 Thanks - yes. That is what I did. I was wondering that too, if they got hacked. So odd. Waiting to hear back from Airbnb to get their thoughts.
