I think it might be Venmo’s default when you setup a new account with them? I didn’t know about it, and after making a donation here to this forum a kind fellow user sent me a private message here asking me if I knew my payments were viewable to all. I changed that option (and I’m going to double check it right now!)
The problem (I’ve stated this before) is that not all clients are as saavy as those of us on this forum. These guys aren’t running these ads without getting result$
I think it’s been stated in other threads that “available now” and a green light mean little on Rentmen. Certainly doesn’t indicate the provider is watching.
Yes they may have longstanding numbers... but that doesn’t mean they aren’t using separate phones, or burner apps to keep their provider life separate from this personal life. It’s really simple.
