Hi Michelle don`t worry, i will try to assist you with all it stays in my power.
I hope you will succeed to complete the payment tomorrow in the morning at a early hour or if it it possible for you , do as the other guest has done before, complete the payment using online banking transfer.
I am asking you to hurry up because payment must be completed by you in 24 hours from the moment air bnb has sent you the notification in your email.
In conclusion if the payment will be completed to late the booking will be automatically be canceled.
Right now, you have to hurry and complete this payment for the booking and send to me or to air bnb email the scanned document from bank with the payment proof.
Payment details:
BANK NAME: BBVA BANK
BANK ADDRESS: CALLE SAN DIEGO 5, 48910 SESTAO, BIZKAIA, SPAIN
HOLDER ACCOUNT: Ruben Prol
IBAN: ES57 0182 0039 1402 0155 5440
BIC / SWIFT CODE: BBVAESMMXXX
Payment Reference: AMS-1432-BNB
The issue is that we receive a new email from another potential guest who wants to book for same dates.
Because of this issue,i need to know if you can complete the payment today or at latest tomorrow morning!
Thank you very much , i will be here to assist you and also i am waiting scanned document proof of payment.
Thank you.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, he will ask for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,a friend or family member.

In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Craigslist, Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.
