I just started to put my house on the listing 6 months ago. The location is in rural area so I wouldn't expect many booking.
Then there were newly created accounts** name ask for the discount for a long time stay. It was very suspicious considering the location of my listing (normally there's not many foreign/tourist here). They even ask for my contact outside Airbnb.
For the first person that asked me, I recommend him to book the other listing instead after he told me he had business in the city which is very far and there's other listing available in that area. This account got blocked by Airbnb after that and I encountered this situation very often. It will take 2-3 days after I received these message for Airbnb to block them.
I just want to share this situation and warn other host to be vigilante for newly created account.
