This Air BNB scam almost got me!
What happens here
The owner recounts a frustrating experience with the very first Airbnb customer who attempted a check fraud scam. The customer booked for a month (March 15 - April 15) during the 'worst time of the year' and sent a cashier's check for $26,000 instead of the $15,000 rental fee, requesting a refund for the overpayment. The owner explains that cashier's checks can be canceled, rendering this a common scam. He emphasizes the importance of vigilance against such fraudulent activities.
Goal: Recognize and avoid common rental scams involving cashier's checks.
