Airbnb scammers using fake email

Hi, i have a big problem right now with an airbnb booking.
On July 22 – 2015, i watch an apartment in AIRBNB, one of the pics of this apartment had a email , telling “If you are interested please send me an email”. I get in contact with her, I send she the days I was interested in, the number of people… She told me that she could make the reservation for me and then AIRBNB should send me the instructions to confirm the reservation. I received a email supposedly from AIRBNB , but it was a fake AIRBNB email address…, with a ING bank at Poland ,account number to make the payment, the owner of this bank account is supposedly AIRBNB inc. I went the next day to make this payment…
Few days after that I get in contact with real AIRBNB, and they tell me that I was cheated , and they dont make anything at all, they get 0% of rresponsibility with that
I had gone to the police and they will try to find the burglar. Does other people goes to police, receive any info… ?
I don’t send more details of which apartment and host was, because police is working on it too , but now its not announced in AIRBNB anymore
Does anyone tried to make a joint action to push AIRBNB?
THANKS!!

Hola, he tenido un problema bastante serio con AIRBNB, el día 22 de julio de 2015 ví un apartamento en la web, en una de las fotos aparecía la dirección email de la supesta dueña del apartamento para contactar con ella y reservarlo. Le escribí diciéndole las fechas , la cantidad de gente , etc… . Me dijo que ella misma hacia la reserva y que luego AIRBNB me mandaría un correo para confirmar la reserva. Me llego el supuesto correo de AIRBNB, pero era una dirección falsa, con un numero de cuenta a nombre de  AIRBNB inc , del banco ING en polonia, al dia siguiente hice el pago y varios días después hable con AIRBNB y me dijeron que me habían engañado y que no podían hacer nada… Ellos no se toman ninguna responsabilidad.
Lo he denunciado en la policía y tratarán de localizar al ladrón…
No os envío mas datos por que la policía está trabajando en ello, se supone…, pero si os puedo decir que el anuncio y el dueño del apartamento ya no salen en la web de AIRBNB
¿Sabéis si otros afectados acuden a la policía a denunciar, si reciben alguna información…?
¿Se podría llegar a organizar una demanda conjunta para presionar a AIRBNB?
GRACIAS!

  1. I think ABB will not do anything because it says on the site to only pay through the site. I hate airbnb, but I am not sure if this one is their fault.
