Succulent facts about Airbnb Clone industry
Like me, you also might
have come across reading about some scams in online rental bookings. But in no
way that dents the credibility of Airbnb. It only affects other business as
same as Airbnb. They might have possibly made it with some airbnb clone . I even afraid to say the word Airbnb. Because
the sites who do scam are just using the user loss of concentration in the name
of the brand or URL to their advantage. Scammers might come with the name as
same as Airbnb with a subtle change as .in or something. So if users could
recognize it readily then they won't fall prey for it.
So what Airbnb is doing?
In the process of helping its users stay away from scams.
Being a pioneer in the
rental booking industry Airbnb is in some way responsible to help users in this
cause. And they ensured it through,
- Airbnb sends mail only with the
mail address having @airbnb in some part. Not from any personal mail
address.
- Airbnb is always an Airbnb on
URLs too. Check for the link for the same before you click. If you are
unsure don’t click on it.
- All information as said by
Airbnb will be present on the dashboard itself. So readily check your
dashboard when you see any kind of offers listed on ads said to be on
Airbnb.
- And they also don't encourage
in collecting the payments outside from website.
Like these Airbnb in all
possible ways helps the users. Even when users are uttering do something wrong
it sends an email regarding that. But if it goes unnoticed in spite of huge
email traffic then it's safe to say that its the fate of the user to fall prey
to scammers.
5 simple ways to avoid
getting scammed
- Always make sure you are on the
official website. Even if you have a seed-sized doubt. Sort it out by
cross-checking it in every possible way. Or at best leave the site.
- Clicking on any link and if it
is redirecting you somewhere. Then double check where you are at present
and then continue.
- At any circumstances or at even
at any demand don't wire transfer money to the hosts.
- Never try to contact hosts
outside the official website.
- Go through reviews and leave no
stones unturned there. If you come across any negative review for any
host. Then try to see what's wrong only if it seems to be so appealing to
you. Or better leave it.
And finally be certain
and sure with the refund and return policy.
