You are in the wrong here, you are "trading" on their registered mark and you need to fix it. You cannot use another companies registered trademark this way.

You are in the wrong here, you are "trading" on their registered mark and you need to fix it. You cannot use another companies registered trademark this way. If you mentioned airbnb in a marketing piece and had respected their trademark in the material (e.g. shown it is theirs) then you'd be in a different position. But this is almost a text book example of what not to do, IMO.
Good thing is if you respond and say you are fixing it and give specifics with a date, then I doubt this goes any further.
- ksaj 7y agoLook closer at the email address.
- davismwfl 7y agoI did, and I also did a whois lookup on airbnb-mm.com, which is registered by Airbnb Inc. And if you go to the domain it redirects to airbnb.com. *edit word and this, I did just check airbnb's site and it doesn't list that domain as one which would be a valid email domain for their consumer site information. But the whois and the redirect makes me think it is. However OP could forward the original message to report.phishing@airbnb.com and see what they say.
- davismwfl 7y agoFWIW too the whois for airbnb.com and airbnb-mm.com look identical. I obviously had too much free time tonight.
