Anyone else experience fishy messages that seem like scams?
There have been a few times I have received messages from legitimate clients pushing for me to call them. I honestly prefer to keep the conversation in messages for safety reasons and I don't want to just hand my number out. Some clients also push for an address. I don't understand the rush, if you are serious about looking for a sitter..the pushiness comes off very creepy.
However, there are also rare occasions when I receive a very vague message from a profile that does not seem legit, telling me to call them at a phone number. No information on any dogs, no questions about sitting, nothing. It's creepy. I wanted to know if anyone else has received similar messages and what scam could someone possibly pull off through rover? Why would a scammer want to go on a dog sitting website to potentially scam people?
I'm not sure if this is considered a scam or not but my husband and I are a team on rover and I got a message to come play with a potential clients dog twice a day. Well they are really hesitate about my husband coming along to meet their dog..kinda seemed odd to me. Am I being paranoid?
