Beware of fake Airbnb websites scam

[Yara13]

I recently was almost about to book for a place and the host sent me a website that looks Really identical to the official Airbnb site ,  new users could be easily fooled by this as i almost was, i almost paid through this site since everyone says that its fine to book a place and avoid scams so long you book through the Airbnb website but no one ever mentioned of there being fake identical Airbnb websites that even if you book through the site you will still be scammed and not get a refund, i just wanted to make people aware of this so that they cannot be scammed and lose money through this method.

just beware of this site hopefully Airbnb can take this website down since its impersonating being a trademarked site.

Is this legit?

This happened to me with this website claiming to be legitimate. I didn't pay, though, so I'm really relieved... https://alrbnb-accesse-listvieews-number-overvieews.33228070.com/676f/sonnige-neu-renovierte-wohnung... This person even went so far as to imitate a real professor! Yikes!

https://approved-ap854688-s832a8319o381.lipones.shop/676f/16-stone-st/a41073 is what was sent to me and it doesn't even look like he tried to be convincing 

[Lukas293]

I have a link I am unsure of, it starts property-airbnb.11111111111.com (number changed). Is this legit? 

[Helen3]

Of course it isn't @Lukas293  it's Airbnb.com 

If you saw something advertised on a third party site it's a scam.

If you want to book on Airbnb go onto their platform and use their search function to find something

https://airbnb.apartment22448-200148.com/676f/2-beds-1-bath-apartment/625792 <--- they're using this new link, almost pay 1700 euros.

Be careful

so as someone that is currently in between houses, i have been staying at a lot of airbnbs. i decided to take a look at facebook market places and honestly PLEASE AVOID THIS. Almost all of them asked for my email address to send me more information and pictures (this was in the Wembley Park area), and then added how they wish to take payments and have everything being taken care off through airbnb so that our money is safe. upon doing this i found this thread and found the pictures that i received by email on @westpointhomes_ twitter account. There’s a lot of them out there and if you’re reading this then please do your re search before booking or even clicking on links. 

i truly hope no one here gets scammed like this.

they are renting this independent of airbnb but insists on 1st and last month payment to be via airbnb and paid up front.
