Airbnb Users Wrongly Charged for Reservations, Some at Fake Destinations

Airbnb users have been charged for non-refundable reservations at fake destination homes and in some cases, users report that money was taken from their bank and PayPal accounts. Airbnb confirms that there have been some occurrences, but said in a statement sent to USA Today that “these are isolated incidents and at no point was the Airbnb platform compromised.”
