Have I received a phishing email

[Richard178]

Have received and email saying it is from automated@airbnb.com asking to verify our email ......

Hi Asa,

Welcome to Airbnb! In order to get started, you need to confirm your email address.

Confirm Email

.......The problem is this is not my name and I have been with Airbnb for two years. Is someone trying to hack into our account?

Don't click on any link! Sounds strange and could be a phishing mail.

If Airbnb wants you to take action of any kind they normally leave a message on your account dashboard.

I would report it to Airbnb. Agree, do not click or you will be spending the rest of your day changing passwords on every bit of your financial life.

Thanks but I can't find a link to report something!

Same with me! How can we get in touch with airbnb? It seems impossible to talk to anybody! How do we report this?

[David126]

If it is a scam much cleaverer than the usual ones, looks legit, anyway there is somewhere on the site to report phiishing, somebody mentioned the location a day or so ago. Search should find it.

Thanks Karen, I've just had the same kind of email addressing me as Christopher (my name is Diana) etc. I'll forward it to the email address you've given - very helpful!
