Have a guest new to air bnb who wants to book for almost a month. I’m unsure if this is a good idea

I’m unsure if letting a new guest book for a month is a good idea. They’ve not been on air bnb for a month. This happened before and they asked for personal info, this time they didn’t but I’m skeptical.

Hi @Charles1948 I have a thread on the community titled Scams Targeting Hosts on a similar issue.  I have reported it and two other inquiries and AirBNB is investigating. Do be cautious. 
The recommendation is to reply to maintain your response rate. “Thank you for your interest.” and decline the inquiry so that you Based on articles I have read, generally they are trying to get info about your property so they can make a duplicate listing using your property and then they scam the renters out of their payment.
