Report #92891 12/29/2017 at 12:56 PM
Hi
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. The accommodation you are looking for is still available in the specified dates. The nightly rate is £250 (all services included), plus a security deposit of £500 which is fully refundable on the check out date (in case nothing is damaged). Also the house is fully loaded with furniture and all electrical equipment (fridge, clothes washer, dryer, dish washer, central heating, wifi, cable TV, A/C...), bed linens, towels. You are very close to pubs,...
-------------------
This is the first e-mail received from the owner of the house that I found on Airbnb under the name "Stylish House close to Hyde Park"
Now it no longer appears on any site.
I do not understand how it is possible to receive the booking, invoice and payment confirmation from this address: support@reservation-notifications.info, and everything is fake.
I have attached the contents of the mail as I received it. I did not think even for a moment that it might be a fraud.
When he did not send my contract and gave me a phone number that no one answered, I realized I made a big mistake.
More certainly, everything is done by someone working in the field of reservations.

The accommodation you are looking for is still available in the specified dates. The nightly rate is €220 (all services included), plus a security deposit of €700 which is fully refundable on the check out date (in case nothing is damaged). Also the house is fully loaded with furniture and all electrical equipment (fridge, clothes washer, dryer, dish washer, central heating, wifi, cable TV, A/C...), bed linens, towels. You are very close to pubs, shops, etc. Also i can help you with a car for all your stay to visit the area, included in the price.

First name:
Last name:
Full Address:

Like any other transactions on Airbnb or TripAdvisor, they will handle payment and it will be released to me only after you check in. If everything is ok, please provide the requested information so I can initiate the booking on Airbnb or TripAdvisor.

Had nearly the same scam on Airbnb (see below) ("house in south of France").
Mistakes in writing and security deposit made me questioning the eMail (including ID-copy to be sent) - no way I am sending these data to an unknown (identity theft possible...).

Really,
how many people have been deceived by this person?
I sent all the details to the authorities,
but it seems that nobody does anything.

After requesting a booking on booking.com they answered by email and offered another accomodation, requesting it being paid through a fake tripadvisor invitation.
-------------------
The tripadvisor invitation looks like a real one except that the menu doesn't work, it doesn't automatically switch to your language, you can't click on the names of the people who left reviews, etc.
