Hi
I have found out that my Airbnb listing has been cloned. This was by accident when a friend wanted to rent my apartment and I said the dates were available and when she looked it said a week was already booked.
I went onto Airbnb site and put in her dates and sure enough a message came up with, I see you are having trouble booking and these two cloned sites were listed.
I thought it was strange as I had had two other requests for dates which I had pre-approved and then the guest sent a message saying the dates were already booked. Luckily I have found this early enough to be able to stop anybody paying for their holiday, turning up and finding out they have been scammed.
I have subsequently sent everyone who contacted me a message and I didn't get the booking to check that they haven't been offered a silly price and they have paid directly to someone. Thankfully that has not happened.
I immediately changed all my passwords and profile photo.
But I am very worried. I contacted Airbnb and their autobot said they would look into it.
Luckily I look after my property myself and am here to meet guests.
But I want to know how to get the cloned sites off Google.
Anybody had a similar experience and can advise??
Thank you
