Is this a Scam?

"Hello, I really like the decoration style of your house. I am planning to go on a business trip and want to rent it for a long time. Because it involves long-term rental, I want to discuss some property details with you. I hope you can send a text message or call us to discuss the house in detail. Once I understand it clearly, I will go back to Airbnb to book a room immediately. **"

 

Can I decline without problem?

Hello @Mark-Massaro0 👋

 

We always recommend to Hosts to keep all communication on the Airbnb app. Here is an article that may be helpful to you: 

⚠️ Avoiding fraud, scams, and abuse 

⚠️ Paying and communicating through Airbnb

 

Off-platform activity: Hosts and guests must not communicate, share personal contact information, pay or request payment for a reservation or experience outside of Airbnb’s platform.

 

I hope this helps, 

Rebecca
