Possible scam guests/requests

Hi all just thought I'd let you know that I've had a fake account send me this message attached to date requests.

 

Hi, I've just seen your listing and I, wondering if the dates I've selected are available to book? I'm at. Bit confused because there appears to be two listings, one with the dates blocked out and another with them available, could you please let me know if the dates are available to book please?

 

the other listing is here :www.airbnbrooms.world/rooms/471292

 

i need to be able  O book asap, thank you!

I was caught off guard a little bit because it was a very well presented profile but I knew the link was off and I've never heard of this happening before, so I opens the link into a private browser and low and behold it's Airbnb log in page but all the links are broken except the login.

 

changed my password immediately after and switched on account logins/changes alerts but yeah, keep your eyes peeled!

Yes unfortunately a well know scam.

 

As you have clicked on the link, I would contact BNB now and let them know what has happened so they can protect your account.  (contact details 1st post Community Help)

Seems to come up here weekly and I sure that is just the tip of the iceberg.
