co host scam?

Has anyone received an inquiry with a link to a property they are a "co-host" of when they only have one property that they are a host of? Thank you in advance of any feedback you may provide.

@Roger781  It isn't a co-host scam. It is a scam whereby if you click on the link, it gives the scammer access to your listing annd perssonal info and they can redirect payments to themselves.

 

These come in the form of Inquiries, not Booking Requests. No need to decline inquiries, just message back saying they have been reported as scammers, and report them.

Hey from Estonia! I received a similar link (from 'Clarissa') saying that my listing is published by another host with different price! Be careful!

I was just messaged this too by them, complete scam, not an offical airbnb link, beware and report!

I recieved one like that today. How did you solve it? is it a scam? thanks

Yo he recibido hoy el mismo mensaje, me preocupa porque he intentado abrir el link. Alguien puede aclararnos de qué va.  

Yo también recibí justo hoy el mismo mensaje. Escribí a Airbnb y no contestan

ME ACABA DE PASAR A MÍ TAMBIÉN...
 
A mí, a mi esposo ya un par de amigos nos gustaría pasar nuestras vacaciones en su hermosa casa. Pero tengo algunas preguntas, por qué su listado se publica dos veces con diferentes precios y diferentes hosts?
Aquí está la otra lista:

https:/abn-host-spk.778947.icu

Cuál debo reservar?

Qué raro, nosotros solo tenemos este espacio, el enlace que me envias me obliga a registrarme y no deseo hacerlo. ¿Me podrías dar más detalles sobre esto? ¿Quién lo anuncia? ¿Qué host está encargado?

I have just received one like this - the potential guest enquired about booking nearly 2 weeks at my property.  I said yes the property was available etc and sent them a pre approve.  Then another message from the potential guest stating that they had seen our same property on for a lower proce with another host and wondered which one to book?!  They had also sent a link (with a number and "abn" in the link.  i nearly clicked, but stopped myself as realised i could be clicking into a scam/worse!  So have been messagin them to get more details of exactly which website they saw our property on etc.  Just waiting for replies at the moment.  Have also contacted the superhost helpdesk and explained.  I think the airbnb helpdesk were also v wary of the "link" sent in the message.
