Hello, I am looking for an apartment that I need for a long time in Sweden in Gothenburg. I found an ad (not on Airbnb) and the lady who allegedly rents out the apartment wrote me that she does not live in the country but has a contract with airbnb and that I will meet with her agent who is from airbnb and who will give me the keys to the apartment . Through that agent, I would pay the deposit and complete the contract. Does it work that way or is it a scam? Thanks in advance Edisa
This is hers mail:
It's a well known scam, hands off!
There are no Airbnb agents. Communicate and book via the platform only.
