Scammers are setting set up fake Airbnb accounts to capitalize on the world's generosity to help Ukrainian refugees fleeing their country after the Russian invasion. Therefore, those making donations by booking rentals are encouraged to examine the listing carefully and read reviews to make sure the host is legitimate and has been operating for some time.
Airbnb has said it is offering free temporary or short-term housing in neighboring countries to up to 100,000 Ukrainians who are fleeing their country because of the Russian invasion. It's also waiving guest and host fees in the country.
