There’s an Airbnb scam doing it too.
Fake damage photos after a booking, so the guest gets charged for damages.
Yet another reason to avoid Airbnb.

Strange that you would tag China in this post without any supporting context. I assume this is happening in the western world or is it ooh bad China or nasty China Ai. Nobody would dream of doing such a horrid thing in England or the goodie two shoes USA with western Ai tools, would they?
Your blog is terrific by the way.
