I have booked a holliday villa in Croatia, from a false owner i found on AirBNB. The scam is almost the same as other AirBNB reported scams.
I contacted the owner to ask for availability.
He replied and sent me an email adress for further details. We continued conversation on email an he told me i will receive the transaction forms from AirBNB. I got an email who looked genuine, especialy that all the links lead to the site. I sent the money in a bank account, belonging to a fake AirBNB agent, opened at Barclays Bank, Leicester, England.
Fortunately, i only sent an advance and realised couple of days later that it was a scam that happened to lots of people. I hope to find a way of getting my money back. Any suggestions, please?
