Hi,

Unfortunately we were too naive and gullible and are thus trapped.

this was the mail regarding payment of our booking:

Dear Guest,

Unfortunately your payment with credit card wont be accepted.
Your credit card was not declined due to insufficient funds, it was declined due to suspicious activity. Unfortunately your payment with credit card wont be accepted. Once tagged as a suspicious activity, you will always be tagged as suspicious activity even if you will try to pay with a different credit card.
You need to pay for the booking by wire transfer to our secure holding account.
To complete the transaction, payment must be made using bank-to-bank electronic wire transfer. From your bank account to our bank account. Once your payment is secured in our trusted accounts, the booking will be secured for your dates.
All the transactions, payment and personal information, are considered confidential and will not be released under any circumstances to any unauthorized person.

Thank You
Michelle
Best regards,
Airbnb Team

questions:
- I already blocked our credit card. Should we also block the regular card from which the transfer is done?
- Does it help to make a report at the police station?
- Should I inform the bank in Spain regarding this payment?

What more information do you require to update your warnings?

Kind regards,

Your reservation and payment was canceled.
This was possible because the same location and dates from same host, was occupied simultaneously by two different guests.
Both bookings were canceled and rejected by our monitoring reservations system.

If you already complete the booking payment, Your payment will arrive back to your account in 7-10 business days.
At this moment we are sorry to announce you that you have no secure booking for the property.
To solve this problem more easily occurred, by the fault of unfortunate coincidences, please contact the host to re-initiate the procedures for booking and payment related to the property.
