Airbnb could scan new listings for the use of images taken from other people's listings. Not foolproof but one example of the sort of countermeasures in depth that are appropriate to try and combat these villains.
- Scoundreller 8y agoThe sites are probably not indexed, so Airbnb would have to run its own crawler/spider to find them. But since Airbnb got its start crawling classified ads... they have the tech.
- mcintyre1994 8y agoI think the idea is that the scams in the OP originate on Airbnb and then take you off-site after you've made contact, and they probably steal someone else's pictures for that first fake listing on Airbnb itself.
