- Omnipresent 15y ago500 to 1000 is not bad of a seed funding for a thief. I think better security measure would be to provide some sort of valid state or federal or national identifications. Any decent hotel requires this so why not AirBnB?
- marquis 15y agoI would pay to be verified by AirBnB, by uploading a picture ID and having a human verify this. A service I use provids added verification by mailing you a code that you enter on the site to prove your address. Things like this could help a lot to assisting with identity scams.
- SkyMarshal 15y agoMost of their customers would stop using it then. They use AirBnB instead of some swank hotel in large part for the cost. Even if the deposit was just a temporary hold of their funds or credit, that would be a huge turnoff to a large chunk of their customer base.
