Possible scam! Any help? How to report to Air BnB?

[Chloe-Alexa0]

Hi, 

I have booked this accomodation, but just cancelled it as i believe it is a scam. The villa is listed under a real estate company 

http://www.christiesrealestate.com/eng/sales/detail/170-l-78234-1702160933373058/villa-salmanazar-ra...

So clearly cannot be for rent?! How can I follow through on this? 

This is the listing?

Any help would be appreciated.

@Chloe-Alexa0 99% it's a scam. Have you read the two reviews over there?

But @Quincy saw it, so maybe he's on it.

Many rent their properties while they wait for a sale to go through.  In France it can take years to shift a property - I have even seen special loans on offer for a duration of up to three years if you are in a chain.  In such cases, short term rental is a perfect solution for the owner.  

In Paris I have seen agents renting properties for sale as their main business. When owners no longer can commit to long term rentals, the short term market is perfect.
