In a word, "scam", @Sajid2. Air BNB does not operate that way. Why are you being contacted? Did you find the place on Air BNB? If so, contact Air BNB and report the profile. Here is a guide for contacting Air BNB

@Sajid2, as @Linda108 has mentioned, this is without a doubt a scam.

AirBnB does not do business this way.

The URL does not even go to an AirBnB web site.

Do not send anyone any money related to this.

If you can, report these people to the police.
