guesty spammers

[Donovan0]

After being contacted by GUESTY in early January I have been receiving an unusually large volume of time wasters, leading me to suspect that GUESTY might be exploiting the airbnb website to make their services seems more attractive. 

I hope to be mistaken on this one, which should be easy to find out:

Please post a reply ONLY IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE YOURSELF. Anyone endorsing Guesty will be suspect in this thread, as we are presuming them innocent until proven guilty, hahaha...

Hi Donovan, this is an interesting question!  What is it about the inquiries that makes you think it's a private company behind them?  I guess I'm not clear on how a number of bogus inquiries would be any kind of a marketing plan.   What would be the gain to Guesty to send you bogus inquiries?

Milu, 

As implied in my message, the gain to Guesty is that by increasing my workload, they also increase the attractiveness of outsourcing this workload to them.
