Beware! Scam Call

Beware! Scam Call

Just received a scam call from 929-201-1183 from a man with heavy Indian accent pretending to be an Airbnb representative.  He said as a valued "customer," I'm eligible for $800 "refund" but wants to "verify" my account information.  When I told him he is a scammer, he hung up on me.  As any host would know, when Airbnb Customer Service call, it's clearly stamped on the caller ID so don't fall for this scam!

@Katie473 Ugh. That was so obviously a scam, it’s cringe worthy.

Thanks for the warning, @Katie473 !

 

Please keep in mind, that even the caller ID can be faked. 

People here are receiving calls from the "police" with a faked police caller ID.

@Katie473 Thanks Katie for the warning. Me as a Newbie doesn't know it is clearly stamped on the caller ID. So thanks
