Scam?

Are there any scams with guests? I have someone apparently from Denmark who has strange correspondence.... She couldn't figure out the payment so wanted to pay offline. But I said they need to pay thru Airbnb. They now have got that right but only have email and phone verification and conversations sound unusual. Not sure what scam there could be? A possible cancellation and refund or theft from other apartments in block. Has anyone experienced anything similar? Thanks!

It seems there are more people trying to abuse the good name of Danes and Denmark yes.

 

What's up with Denmark?

 

Always reject people who try to circumvent the system - good for you @Julie604

 

@Lizzie0 Have you at Airbnb heard about this possible scam or maybe you should be aware of it?
