Airbnb Account temporarily locked

Post by Lets Go To Puglia »

Is this a phishing exercise? I took my properties off AirBnB a long time ago, not sure I even still have an account

Hi Host,

Your Airbnb account has been temporarily locked.

The reason for blocking access to your account is a pending verification that you haven’t completed yet.

Click here to complete the verification and unlock your account.

This verification is mandatory starting with July 2017 and no Airbnb account can function without it.

Our apologies for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Ethan Q

The verification link goes to https://stramb3.de/ .............. which redirects to airbnb.co.uk, so maybe it is real
Ciao, Debbie
