Hi@Hayley
My youngest daughter’s pal lost a significant amount of money booking via a scam air bnb site last year.
My advice is to download the Airbnb app from an Apple phone .
Once you set up your account on the Air bnb app, then you are ready to go.
NEVER ever communicate outside the air bnb platform, this applies to both guests and hosts.
NEVER pay cash, use your verified bank account or credit card.
I never use Paypal either as it faciiltates scammers.
There are rogue guests as well as rogue hosts.....Don’t get caught out by either of them.
