Hi @Erica1381
I just wanted to let you know that the post you replied to was rather old, and I wanted to make sure you had more of a chance to get some help, so I've created a new post for you using the reply you left.
Are there any more details you can give us, e.g did you book and pay via Airbnb or did you pay the Host directly? What was the scam - was the listing not available?
If you can provide more detail, our lovely Hosts can maybe help advise, or we can maybe find some Airbnb resources to help you out.

I paid the host directly and it was a scam because the apartment doesn’t exit when I got there it is abandoned place
On Airnb you can not pay the host directly, you always make the payment to Airbnb.
Airbnb will make payment to the host on the day after you checked-in in the accommodation. What is the link (URL) to the listing on Airbnb which you applied on ?
This is NOT a URL to the official Airbnb website.
You are scammed by somebody using the name "Airbnb" in their communication and URL, but is not a host on Airbnb.
U see under this it written Luxembourg Airbnb payment s.a I want to contact them
It seems fake to me. Airbnb does not charge a deposit. Also Service fee is incorrect. Sorry.
To which bank account did you transfer the money ?
If creditcard used: inform Credit Card company to revert the payment.
Revolut I did but they said they can’t help
Or should I report it to the police
It seems you are a victim of scamming. Maybe filing a report with the police is the best thing to do.
Okk I will do that thanks very much
