Fake/Scam Listing

Hi,

 

I have an upcoming reservation with Zoe: https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/17160697

I had bad feelings about this listing and did Google Image Search, then discovered that this listing copied another listing in Sydney: https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/15721726

Also the address that I am given turns out to be a live music event venue in Melbourne: http://cornerhotel.com/

 

I flagged and also contacted airbnb by email but no reply after 24 hours. 

How long does it take for airbnb to remove fraudulent listings?

Clearly the pictures used for this listing are copied from a monitor screen.

 

As well as the pictures being lifted, this listing claims to offer a spa, pool and a gym  - on the downside, no hangers and check in is only after 10pm? Plus no reviews, no house rules, lack of description, user joined in Feb 2017 - lots of red flags here.

 

Obviously something is seriously amiss about this place so you should immediately call airbnb directly to discuss
