Hi Michelle,

today me and my friends contacted this address because we saw a nice flat in AirBnB in Edinburgh.

I saw it excessive the security deposit he was asking to forward. Also the fact to get in touch with him outside AirBnB platform.

So I searched the address in google and arrived to your post.

Thanks for the warning. If we'd go further with the payments, maybe we'd done a big mistake.

How is it possible that inside AirBnB there can be registered scammers?

Regards
Luis
