Anyone Else Getting Fake Spam Messages from Airbnb?

Been getting a bunch of fake spam messages from "airbnb". Even when I block the number, a bunch of new messages pop up with different numbers. But what i've notice is the numbers start with +4670 1754 XXX. Most messages tend to say thanks for booking confirmation, please ring or send txt to 'name' +63 915 689 9381. Upon searching +63 915 689 9381 the number appears to be from the Philippines.

I find these messages odd as I don't do anything stupid like signing up to fake things and I'm careful with my apps on my Samsung S9+.

    So the spam is purporting to be from AirBnB, and not actually from them?
    Like the calls I keep getting from "NBN Technical"…

    … and if you ring the number, they tell you your card / bank account / paypal account has been charged for the booking - and when you protest that you've never made a booking they try to get access to your computer in order to "process your refund immediately" but what they're doing is accessing your online banking and ripping you off.

    That's my bet anyway. Scam. Ignore. Somehow your phone number has found its way onto a list purchased by scammers - not much you can do other than ignore or get a new number.
