      [Whether or not you think Airbnb is a good idea, it seems anyone using it can be caught  in a scam perpetrated by unscrupulous people who take advantage of the widespread reach on the online letting agency, its “hands-off” approach to disputes and the apparent lack of stringent checks on the authenticity of its hosts.

      The story sent to us by Flatchatter Tharra, all starts with a last-minute phone call to Airbnb guests, telling them there’s been a problem with the flat they had booked into.  – JimmyT]
