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.
