Potential scam

Hi, is there any way you can check if an account is fake?

 

we want to book a property but it’s newly listed so no reviews. I’ve checked the hosts previous reviews for other listings and it seems ok, but I’m hoping Airbnb will have a more clever way of checking ****

Hi @Jonathan2831,

 

Thank you for reaching out to our community.

 

Unfortunately,  I had to remove the link to a Host's profile/listing as we are not allow to share other member's listings to safety and privacy reasons as per our Community Center Guidelines.

 

However, I found a thread where an experienced host shared some tips to identify real listings.: Scam alert! How can I make sure a listing is real? 

Let us know if this information helps you! 

Best,
Alex
