Anyone know if this is a scam. Just received this message from Airbnb supposedly:
Hi,
Unfortunately, you have forgot to sync your calendar with this email address. You need to do this urgent, otherwise you will not be able to use your account as usual.
Please go to the syncing process by clicking the following link:
www.airbnb.com/sync
Syncing your calendar ensures that guests get an accurate picture of your availability and helps prevent double bookings.
Thanks,
The Airbnb Team
When I clicked on the facebook and twitter link at the bottom it does not go to those sites.
Is this a scam

Sounds very much like phishing to me.
But, I presume you copy/pasted the email, so can you look at the original email:
1. What is the full email address from whom it was sent? I'll bet its not a genuine airbnb address.
2. The link in your email. If you hover your mouse over that link, then look in the status bar at the foot of your browser, and it probably shows some weird looking web address.

Coys comments caused me to re-read the email, in which I spotted this phrase:
"you have forgot to sync your calendar with this email address"
Never mind the poor grammar, the information is utter tosh.
Phishing Scam - 100% guaranteed
