Super host has a dilemma

[Paul7035]

Just received an inquiry about our apartment. Asks to contact on a vvzap number. I’ve not heard of this before... I’m not contacting this person. But not sure how to handle my response

@Paul7035 Your response should be:

"Hello X, thanks for your interest. We will need to keep all communication on the Airbnb platform. Do you have any questions for me that I can answer right here in this message thread. Thank you!"

They likely won't respond because it is likely a scam. But you need to send written text as a response to please the algorithm.

GM Emilia, I did respond in kind. I said, "spam spam go away I dont like to play that way." Can you help me post the request or report it to airbnb?
