New Scam warning to hosts!

hi, i use smartbnb for messages. pre-approval is not enabled.

not sure what smart bnb is…it’s an app outside the platform?

Yes. It’s a third party management tool with a subscription fee.

So how will guests book If there is no pre-approval? People ask me If days are available all the time and then book.

Thanks for sharing this, something I will watch out for. I have had this as a general email scam, when I was actively looking for a job.

I’ve seen a run of these, on VRBO (not ABB, yet) with three this week. In V’s system you can mark them as spam, thankfully, but I don’t know they it does anything as they kept contacting me after that anyway. They went away when I told them that all communication would go thru V’s site.

Hum … Seems they didn’t want Big Brother to be a part of things … Lol
