It is a scam. That is why it is posted here. The email address is a free one and not an official Airbnb one. All legitimate Airbnb transactions take place through their messaging system and not random email addresses.

If you send the 1000€ then you will lose it.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
