(Never heard hosts booking for renters on Airbnb.

Ask for information in order to "provide Airbnb with your details.".

Described Airbnb as "the biggest international website dealing specifically in rental properties.".

No listing post available on Airbnb site.

It was later on directed to Zumper for "the owner" to contact me via email. At first he sounded cool (tho explained a little too much), but soon rasied lots of red flags once he mentioned Airbnb. Out of curiosity, I made contact through Facebook message.

This listing offers $1,000 only for a 2bed/2bath townhouse including all utilities (water, electricity, internet etc.). For those who don't have much idea about Miami rental price: normally a 1 bed/1 bath apartment cost around $1,200+ just the place itself. I found this too-good-to-be-true listing on both rental website (Zumper) and advertisement on Facebook Marketplace. * If you are in doubt, contact Airbnb Customer Support before taking any actions (including clicking links in the emails if any).*įor the past few weeks, I have been searching for an apartment to rent in Miami. *From what I know and hear, Airbnb DOES NOT have local agents to help handling the rental matters.* After contacting Airbnb Customer Support, they confirmed that the emails were sent by an unauthorized party.* However, he still raised lots of red flags (details down below). Instead, he indicated that everything, including the payment and the rental contract, will go through Airbnb. Different from other scamming stories I read online, he did not ask me to transfer money outside of Airbnb (at least not yet). *The reason why I started a new coversation regarding rental scams is because "the owner" I contacted sounded legit and seemed to know Airbnb long-term rental rules.
