Airbnb is an online marketplace which lets people rent out their properties or spare rooms to guests.

With a service like that you might want to be very careful because people always try to come out with new ways to scam people out of their money.

The scam with Airbnb involves users of the popular site.

The scam starts with an impostor home or apartment owner directing the renter, a customer towards a fraudulent website to finalize payment for the rental.

Those fake websites always result in lost money and no place to stay. The rental property being discussed is usually not even available. Or maybe doesnt even exist.

In fact, the real owners are most likely unaware that their property is being spoofed by scammers and they dont even want to use the service to rent it out.

Be careful
