So Many Scam in Reykjavík, Iceland

1. When the suspecious new listing which is much cheaper than all the others, try reverse search images:

A:https://tineye.com/

B:Click on the image>swearch google for image

C:https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/noobox-search-by-image/kidibbfcblfbbafhnlanccjjdehoahep?hl...

(noobox helped me found the most)

2. Contact the host with some regular questions.

3. Look into the details of the pictures, different plug (et. UK listing but images show US plug)

@Szuyu0

did you report those listings to Airbnb ?

Hi, I have Just contact them via message and waiting for their reply, when flag them (scam) on the listing page that I cannot submit any prove I found and it won't be taken donw instantly, so I sent them this post link and see how it goes. 

Hi again,

Just got reply from one of the message I asked (from FB) , they asked me to report to this email:

report.phishing@airbnb.com

However, I reported one of them yesterday, it was taken down for a day and back on today !!!!

Unbelievably.
