I received this message about a 2-week stay from a new user, Ann, with no verifications, location, or reviews:
"Hi there I am Ann, i am very excited to book your cool and clean space... Also i have a few essential questions , due my work , because i traveling most of the time i can't talk over airbnb , can you get back to me with your phone number directly to : ̣ạ̣ṇ̣ṇ̣@̣̣ḷ̣ụ̣x̣̣ṛ̣ẹ̣ṇ̣ṭ̣ṣ̣.̣̣c̣ọ without any problems ,so i can call you or drop me a message directly : ̣ạ̣ṇ̣ṇ̣@̣̣ḷ̣ụ̣x̣̣ṛ̣ẹ̣ṇ̣ṭ̣ṣ̣.̣̣c̣ọ I am waiting to hear from you as soon as possible. i would like to book immediately i hope to have a wonderful stay"
Already I knew it was suspicious because the user knew to format the email address in such a way that it would appear to me un-censored. I reversed image searched her family photo and found it on a CHURCH website!! http://www.hcfm.org/en/AboutUs/FamilyResearch.aspx
Likley this is one of those scams where she rents from me, I leave, and then she tries to let it to other people.
Declined and reported this person. If you get the same or similar message, report them immediatly!
Thanks for the heads up. Heaps of scams out there
Hi thanks for the Heads up
I also received the same message today, so will be declining and reporting.
Yup - i got this exact message about 2 months ago. Then another email today..
Im gonna report
