Phishing email

[Mike153]

I received this email and wondered if it is a scam - the link led me to a page where it asked for my password which I entered, without thinking. If it is a scam what should I do.

Check the header of the email sent to you against the content of this airbnb advice link

If the email sent to you doesn't match one on the list, it's likely to be a phishing attack.

In this case best to change your password again - and for your airbnb account it's always more secure to have a different unique password.

Tempative of pishing in Italy. I awas looking for a flat in Venice on some Italian websites for rent, no Airbnb, and I sent several requests. I received an answer for a flat and the pictures they sent were amazing. The cost of the flat was really low for Venice but they wanted two months in advance. They wanted the payment via airbnb. Just before to send them my data I did a simple google search of the pictures and I found the same flat on Airbnb but in Barcellona!!!

I wrote to the owner of the flat in Barcellona  and I reported to airbnb pishing. Hope they will do something.
