There’s a lady who offered me 50e per day. The fridge full of the food what I want and a driver for everything that I need…and she wants to do everything (the contract) outside of the app What do you think? Sounds suspicious…only one review. I want to do a videocall but she’s always doing somethin…

@Silversitters , suspect OP means EUR50 per day. @Luna17 , this seems a risk-reward kind of situation. How well do you know the person? How distant the timeline of the housesit? How do the pet responsibilities, property and other matters compare to a THS listing? How significant is the proposed com…

It does sound suspicious. With the thousands of sits available , I would not consider this one which has so many red flags already.

Yes you do @Luna17 If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.

I would be asking why they want this arranged off the platform - and why they are offering payment- are there additional responsibilities ? If you go ahead be aware that you won’t have any back up from THS if things go wrong as it would be a private arrangement. We do paid sits on another platform …

That sounds like a scam. Offering you money when she could get it for free, offering a driver and food? Too good to be true and very scammy. Does she have reviews on THS? I don’t mean to lecture you, but pet-sitting scams are very common in the paid pet-sitting community. Usually they involve some…

She only have one review…she’s in Mallorca, a huge house that looks like a house from a magazine…not a real one… Also she wrote me by WhatsApp at 4.50am…I was sleeping of course and then she asked me why it took me so much time to answered back…so weird! I already canceled :disappointed_face:

[image] Luna17: then she asked me why it took me so much time to answered back Too much of a “you’re at my beck and call” vibe there. Probably a good call to cancel.

SCAM! If they are on THS, I would report them…

Good decision @Luna17 :innocent:

Did she ask what your blood type was and if you still have both kidneys? Even if not this still sounds really suspicious. Why would someone want to pay so much if they don’t have to only to avoid what few, poorly enforced THS rules there are through the platform?
