I had a slew of inquiries from folks with NO profile: no ID verified, no photo, no email or linked accounts. I have Instant Book on but I require verified ID and phone, etc. When they inquire I have to pre-approve or decline. I should not have to do anything except answer them to tell them to update their profile, read the house rules, and then request booking.
What I want is to not get booking requests from incomplete unverified profiles. I won't discuss the availability of my home or anything about it with zero info. They could be casing my place to see when it is vacant so they can break in.
This is simple security measures. I hear I may be punished for declining. Please remove the ability to contact hosts without completing your profile.
