Look if you're not boycotting Airbnb for destroying communities you deserve to get scammed.
Airbnb are evil, taking housing away from families to do short term rentals with hugely inflated prices.
Fuck Airbnb. They should be regulated.
Look at Japan, they neutered the company.
In Japan you can't own more than one Airbnb and you have to actually live in the home for part of the year.
