Renter just joined and has reviews

Had an inquiry from a guy, solo renter, who joined Oct 2016. He contacted me on Oct 2nd. So he's been on for 2 days. No Information, just city and name. He states he needs a place to smoke while renting. I ask why the visit to my area. He states its business. That's it. I shoot off several messages to promote conversation but he never replies. Today, Oct 3rd and all of a sudden he has a review. The review is dated Oct 2016. I go to the reviewers profile and he seems to be legitimate. He's a host with 239 reviews.

The inquirer hassn't responded yet, but would you all move on this or ask for more info. I think its strange that the guy has a review in October, he joined in October and we are only 3 days into October. His request was for Oct 4th! Odd. How is it possible??

Personally I would not accept this booking.  The lack of communication and ommission about being a host would be enough to feel uncomfortable with how this person navagates around others.

And he smokes, so forget it.

He could have easily ask a friend to write a revew about him if his friend is a host. If you notice some skatchy behaviour, better not to risk
