Airbnb Scam on Telegram – Unauthorized Transactions and Refund Request
March 09, 12:55 am

I was misled by a Telegram group claiming to be affiliated with Airbnb, promoting a so-called "earn money by selecting hotels" scheme. They asked me to deposit money and promised returns, using fake payment receipts to make the scam seem legitimate.
Now, I am concerned that my personal and identity information may have been compromised. As of March 7, 2025, I declare that any financial transactions, loans, or hotel reservations (such as those on www.hotel777.top) made under my name are not my responsibility.
I demand an immediate refund of my funds and a full investigation into this fraudulent scheme. Airbnb must ensure that scammers are not misusing its name to deceive people.
