The cancellation policy is flexible: Full refund in the day of your arrival, including fees. So if you will not like my apartment, you have the right to cancel this booking with Airbnb, and you will receive your full payment back same day.
Like any other transactions on Airbnb, they will handle the payment and it will be released to me only after you'll check in. If you wish to proceed, please provide the requested information so I can start the booking on Airbnb. I'm looking forward for your reply.
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.
