Official Old Man
Uckfield Seagull
I'm putting this up to warn others.
Friend of mine found an apartment in Brighton for long rent on Airbnb. I knew it was a 'too good to be true' scam but they wouldn't listen.
Friend asked lots of questions on what looked like the official airbnb site but when it came to paying was instructed to pay cash into a personal overseas bank account.
£1500 lost!
I've seen the web page plus the web chat and it all looked so real, until the payment bit.
Whilst I'm sure airbnb would like me to point out it was not them involved, just be warned.
