Noah Lee - HA enquiry email scam

[Sam V]

I've just received this HA enquiry this morning trying to look similar to a genuine enquiry but it's a scam and also not in my HA inbox and I've not heard of him until now.

Hi, please let me know if your property is free for the 4th of July week.
I know it is a busy period, but maybe we can arrange something.

They've gone to an awful lot of trouble to persuade you to click on a scammy link. Have you forwarded this to spoof@?

The international dialling code for his phone number relates to Slovakia, so that might be where HOMEAWAYA hangs out.

[Sam V]

I've sent them onto HA spoof

They certainly have gone to a lot of trouble, thanks for posting Sam.
Whilst we LMH's are well up with the 'click the link' scam, I do feel concern for the many other advertisers who aren't and who get caught by it.

[Sam V]

Shame I cant post exactly what I received here as it had a style of layout and logo of HA. I had to check and double check that it was actually a scam. I logged into my account to check if I had actually had an enquiry from him as the name didn't ring a bell. The other confirmation of a scam was his email addy.

It could be so easy to not realise its a scam and follow it through

I have had a v similar "enquiry" from Ava Lopez.
Same apology for late reply,
Asking me to click a link,to confirm that this listing was my property.
Being on the beach and not really concentrating, I clicked
Luckily the connection was bad and v slow, so I noticed a dodgy address starting to load and clicked off, hope it's ok&#128533;
