Scam ?

HI 

Wanted to get some opinions on this listing from the community.  I just booked it for an upcoming trip but I am unsure.  The price seemed to good to be true but I thought perhaps it was in attempt to get the bookings and reviews:

Later I came back to the listing and did a screenshot of the pics and with a google reverse image search I found what looks to be a listing from Sept 5th for sale of the property

I reached out to inquire and they said not to worry that the listing was supposed to be removed..

 

thoughts??

@Candace139 when we sold our place recently we limited the dates on Airbnbs calendar to ensure we had no bookings post our estimated (and later confirmed) completion date. Depending how far in advance you are booking I would share your concerns.

@Mike-And-Jane0 Ty I think I will take the chance on it.  I put up my airbnb on a lark when it was being still being built and I only had pics of the floor plan. And no reviews. A couple booked it immediately. I couldn’t believe it.  Have to start somewhere 😊

Hi @Candace139 , I had to remove the listing link because we do not allow hosts to post listing information unless it is shared by the listing owner, for privacy reasons.

 

Did you proceed with booking this reservation, or did you choose to stay elsewhere?
