A REMINDER & PSA to everyone, but MAINLY my fellow cleaners on here‼️
Running a cleaning business by myself means I'm often walking into homes where I've never met the homeowner before. Honestly, most people are absolutely wonderful, but every now and then, an inquiry comes along that gives me an uneasy feeling.
I've learned not to ignore those feelings. Maybe it's experience, maybe it's intuition, but either way, I've never regretted listening to my gut. I’ve heard horror stories about cleaners and other solo workers being taken advantage of in different ways, so I did my research on a phone number that’s been messaging me since Thursday. I’ve found multiple people claiming they’ve been scammed. The address given to me is in fact listed for sale, but not owned by anyone named Todd. Other things not shown also gave me all the red flags 🚩
A little reminder to anyone who works alone: your safety comes first. Always. No paycheck is worth it.
The right clients will understand 🤍
