I keep getting spam requests

I keep getting spam requests from fake profiles advertising cheap furniture for sale. Why isn't Airbnb dealing with this? And why is there no way to contact a real human for support?

@Elaine11 As @Marit-Anne0 said, flag them.  Airbnb isn't aware of these people until other users notify them.  I would also reply to these people that advertising by contacting hosts in this manner is a violation of Airbnb's Terms of Service and that you will make sure they are removed from the site.  Hopefully this will put a damper on these types of inquiries.
