Approximately 5 weeks ago, my husband was enquiring about an Airbnb property through the Internet.

He was enquiring about a property in Queensland. The travel date was 17-20 April.

He said that at the time his enquiry was declined.

I did not have anything to do with this transaction and have never used Airbnb.

Today, I received an SMS to my phone (different number) saying

"ING: Code xxxxxx for a $xxx.xx Airbnb transaction. Not you? Call 04 **** 5845.

*

My husband was not contacted.

Is this a scam?  Should I just delete the message?
