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.

  • 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.
