I received an email that I was about to delete as spam until I saw it was an actual Airbnb booking for that night in a single room in Rio for the price of a week or more in a luxury home in Oz. I am in Queensland, Australia with no intentions of travelling anywhere right now. I have been charged through Paypal for $875.70 AUD through an express booking process that did not require any input from me. I’m not sure where or how this happened, but have raised disputes with the snail paced and anonymous resolution systems of each player: Airbnb, Paypal and the bank. It seemed impossible to get direct contact with any of them. Any help, shortcuts or advice?
