I know that many traditional, licensed b&b's now advertise with air ... some say, can't beat 'em, join 'em. I don't know if you rely on their security systems but thought I'd share this.

Air bnb is improving the security of its app and website after a BBC investigation found people’s homes had been burgled by scammers using stolen accounts.

Thanks for the information..
trouble is what do we do about it? its genuine people who have built their air reputation innocently that have had their accounts effectively stolen - from our end how do we tell?
 
I'm sorry to say this, but it's a system built for such things. So far on the list... whore house, drug house, porn filming, wife swapping parties, crazy parties, thieves, etc. etc. etc.
When you do something under the table and illegally, discriminate against people, etc. You sort of ask for people to abuse the system.
