Triple ad : scam ?

[Julie750]

Hello everyone,

I am an Airbnb noob who’s looking for a little help. I’ve found (anyway i thought) a great villa to spend my summer holiday this year. But after more intensive research it turns out that there are 2 clones or the ad with same Pictures but different host, different name and different price...

So... what do you think? Scam? How to be sure ? 

Thanks for helping

Hello @Julie750. One of them has disappeared (the last one). The other two look a bit suspicious to me. 

But it's also possible that two people are hosting oe property to attract more guests. What is more, the first one has its calendar blocked.

@Julie750, as @Marzena4 has said, it is possible that two people are promoting the property to get more bookings.

I have also heard stories where someone will steal the photos and description of a popular property to make a fake listing. The original host is innocent and often unaware of this. I do not know if this is the case, but perhaps you can contact both hosts and tell them both about the duplicate listings.

How they respond might give you more information about what is going on.
