Airbnb message scam ?

[Spiros50]

 

Greetings to all, 

as you may see in the screenshot attached I got this weird message. I smell scam but I replied as if it was a normal person. 

Another indicator that this is might be a scam is that the profile was made on 2024 and hasn’t done any trips yet. 

Did anyone else got this message as well ?

UPDATE : I reported the account as scam on Airbnb will update further

Hi spiros50

That's smart and one need to be cautious with so many digital frauds happening.

That's helpful.

I haven't got such message but yes

Manier times people who enquire are quite old in terms of account but no trips 

Ps - I generally suggest to get a Identity proof or LinkedIn Profile 

Regards

Greetings Vikram 

thank you for your reply and your insight. I would strongly suggest not to ask proof from a third party website due to the fact that he already sent me a link that may be a scam so they might try to sent another fake link.

Not to pat my hand on my shoulder but the last review I got was a five stars one and generally I’m on 4,98 with 83 reviews so asking about a recent bad review that’s not there and asking me to check on a site outside of Airbnb it’s a red flag. Even if there is a bad review on another website it’s not my concern because it’s not visible while reviewing my listing. 

Although your method of cross referencing is valid I believe that Airbnb has all the necessary information to validate a proper profile on users and anything that happens outside Airbnb site is not covered by them. 

So far he hasn’t reply to my response

Kind Regards ,

Spiros
