Last night there appeared in my inbox a name and a picture, nothing more. This morning the woman wrote a message, claiming she had messaged me last night, adding that she wanted to stay this weekend, but not saying which place she wanted to stay in or the exact dates. I told her I hadn't had a previous message and asked her to enter dates. She wrote again, at greater length, but still could not bring herself to enter dates or tell me which house she wanted. Long story short, we went around this at least once more, and she finally said she would do that. Never heard from her again, but this weekend isn't available at either place anyway.
Questions: How can someone send me a non-specific message, i.e., not tied to a specific listing and not tied to any dates? And why did her picture come through when it's not a booking but simply an inquiry?
This was the first communication. It's weird, right?
