Scammer on AirBNB
The dirty scammer is here and tried to send me messages. I believe the scammer used my name and searched me, including AirBNB, BP or any place have to use real name.
Last year I got a scammer inquiry and booked for over month and asked so many questions, including tried to reach me out of AirBNB. Quickly the scammer cancelled the booking.
Now, I got this scammer in AirBNB again: inquiry for more than 2 month rent with one word name and multiple name within one hour and same content. I immediately realized it is scammer. I reported this dirty scammer to AirBNB.
What those scammer want to do when I will not do business out of AirBNB for short term rental? How to prevent those dirty scammer interrupt?
Every time if I have one response in BP, I will get a connection request from the scammer with not so right wording, even the picture is not so proper.

Its good that you can identify a scam.
I'd reply back once on the platform and then ignore them or report to Vrbo or Airbnb.
Sometimes I like to mess with them and have them mail me their fake check just to waste their time and money and make them mad.
