Like? If I emailed a few friends around the country and asked them to help me out like that, how would Airbnb know?

I'm not saying they haven't considered it, I'm saying they can't stop it. Making the claim that a transaction based review system is inherently trustworthy seems either naive or disingenuous.

And if they have considered it, what are they doing about it? I'll bet you a thousand dollars if the suggested scenario happens, there is no mechanism in place to alert anyone, stop it, or deal with it, no matter how big the tracks left. Do you know how many of the NYC listings are pure scam?

I'll grant their review system is set up from the get-go to be the best of anyone out there.
