I got this "offer" from a woman named Leanne who just registered on the site in April 2017 and has no other verification... it's some kind of financial scam
I'm Leann, we're a company that helps entrepreneurs grow their business. We work with a variety of entrepreneurs, and this program is tailored specifically for high performing hosts. Generally, this would be the top 20% of hosts in San Francisco with metrics in good standing and as our system would qualify as hosts with high growth potential. We started Clear Finance for hosts with love for the Airbnb community and our existing members who told us that the biggest barrier to growing was access to flexible capital that they could pay back as they earn so they're not tied down to cash flow. We believe tihs doesn't apply to everyone and only hosts who are looking to expand would find this service useful. Based on factors such as sentiment and quality between your 6 reviews as well as a variety of external metrics such as regional occupancy, our algorithm is able to provide cash flow and revenue predictions for our members. In our 2016 powerhost report, we saw that your listings potentially qualify, so I wanted to reach out and learn more about your 2017 expansion plans. My sincere apologies for the message if this doesn't apply to you or you're not looking to grow your revenue, but thanks for reading up until here, I really appreciate it. Let one of our host success specialists know and I'm happy to send you a physical copy of the report if this is useful.

Hi, Leann. I received something similar from "Joseph":
"Our data science team looked at rising hosts and listings in the View Park-Windsor Hills region and analyzed for predicted earnings potential. I wanted to share with you your custom report and metrics, and also get your feedback. Do these numbers look accurate to you? My name is Joseph. We launched the Clear Finance program for our powerhosts on the Clear Finance platform who were looking to acquire new listings and finish renovations. Our system assess seasonal fluctuations in View Park-Windsor Hills and compare it to powerhosts's listing data in our rankings. We conducted a 2016 report and took a look at based on metrics such as earnings potential, the top powerhosts in View Park-Windsor Hills. At the end of the day, our goal for starting the Clear Capital program was to help entrepreneurs grow their business.
"Is the metrics we found on your listings correct? Here's the link, you can copy into your browser: [link removed]
I'm sorry, Alexandra. I mistakenly called you Leann.
Thanks for posting that similar scam - Airbnb emailed me that they have deleted that person's account.
Yeah it is doing the rounds at the moment and pops up under a multitude of different names. As fast as the profiles are being removed new ones pop up! Just flag it and move on Alexandra!
Cheers....Rob
Thank you, I did. 🙂
