Let's start a thread with common scams so hosts are aware of red flags to look for when dealing with guests.

- For those with strict cancellation policies, when guests ask to modify the reservation to 30 days out that's usually a sign that they are trying to get around the policy.

Guests that ask for a discount when booking. These guests will always find something wrong later on. After dealing with 6 of these I just tell guests that the dates are not available.

For sure the discount crowd. You would think that people appreciate it when you give them a discount but then they just figure they can squeeze you for more later.. and they seem never to be satisfied.
