I received this week multiple reservation requests from local guests, who have no ratings, no self description, no ID verification. They all write a short sentence or even just two words. Some of this requests come very late. When I ask them about the reason they need to book my place, they refuse to give one, just saying something. So I keep asking them questions and they just quit.
Another case I have is: a person, I don't think it's even a potential guest, because he never places even a reservation or a booking, keeps texting me about one specific photo of a poster in my listing and if I have this picture at home. He is looking for this picture for so many years and finely pinterest pointed him to my listing on airbnb. I found it odd, because I do not advertise on pinterest. So I tell him, that cannot be the case. This person keeps developing a nice conversation about this picture and tells even why he needs to find it. The story is actually pretty nice. Unfortunately I do not have the address of the specific location where I found this poster. This person keeps checking on it couple times already and texts me 3x in a span of 2 month. Why is this person keep texting me and how can my apartment appear on pinterest? And then I remembered that it's not a first person who texted me, because he/she found my place on pinterest. I had this already couple years ago too. So does anyone knows, what is the connection to pinterest and Airbnb?
