Be wary of scammers during this difficult time

I got one of those 25% payouts

I actually just got a payment for a bunch of cancellation reservations, but it appears that they totally missed the first two. Scheduled for arrival on March 17 and 19, Airbnb actually paid me out as normal but then reversed them at the end of March. I should have been paid 25% of the total since they were booked under strict policy and cancelled at the last minute, but they were not included in the group of payments. Not encouraging…

We’ve received this same request on both the Airbnb and HomeAway platforms. Definitely a scam.

Hello, can someone please give answer about this message… Scammers booked my place obviously and I receive this message on my mail:

"Hi Marko,
After a full review of your account activity, we have decided to remove you from the Airbnb community. This means you can no longer access your account and cannot create a new one.
You were removed because we determined that the payments for reservations HMH2…, HM3H… may be fraudulent.
We previously warned you about fraudulent payments on 2020-12-24.
This is a violation of the Security section of the Airbnb Community Standards, which you agreed to in the Terms of Service.
Any upcoming reservations have been canceled and guests have been notified and fully refunded.
We consider this decision final.
