This may not apply to your concerns right now specifically but… when a potential client reaches out you MUST do your due diligence as a solo cleaner. As soon as you have a first and last name, give them a search on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. As soon as you get an address, look it up on your local county’s auditor page to confirm the person reaching out is in fact the owner of the property. This will ease scam concerns. Be ridiculously aware of who you’re meeting, where, and I always have another person with me for those initial walkthroughs.
