Please be aware that there is an SMS text being sent to hosts advising that your HA account has been deactivated. To reactivate it you have to follow a link on bit.ly - this leads to a dummy HA login page (paulblog.eu/home). Delete the message and do not follow the link.
HA have been advised and they have put a notice on their help pages.

Just a reminder that this is still doing the rounds
We received a version today from sender "Abriitel"
advising that all HA accounts have been deactivated.
A bit.ly link was provided to reactivate, the text message contained several minor typos, easy to overlook if you are in a hurry.
We don't subscribe directly to Abritel
Could not find mention of this scam on the Homeaway site and the phishing link on HA returned a 404 error

I've just tried to log on to Holiday Lettings and it came up with: Your account has been suspended both when I tried to log on on our laptop and then again with my kindle fire. No links fortunately but on calling them (after eventually tracking down a number) they said there was nothing wrong.
All fine now, but worrying if it is related in some way.
