Scam link?

airbnb.com-property.space/booking/listing/4d4a33/?rent=1507980956?s=eRGFZrin [link removed for safety reasons]

 

This link is a scam link or not?

Thank you

Hi, @Majd0. I'm not going to follow that link because it does indeed look false. A true Airbnb listing URL is airbnb.com (or .ca or .co.uk, etc.) followed by /rooms/ then a number - it will look something like airbnb.com/rooms/12345.

That URL is far too long, and the .com-property.space looks sketchy indeed. Don't go there.

@Majd0 Yep, this is definitely a scam.  It is not a real Airbnb listing.  Don't go there as this is an attempt to use the Airbnb name to lure people into thinking it is real.  

Also note that a real Airbnb website has "https" where the "s" stands for "secure".  The link you provided does not have this.   It is just someone creating a website made to look like an Airbnb site, but it is not. 

Stay away and don't use the chat feature (Airbnb does not offer this)....they'll ask you for your personal information.  Stay away!!
